If you're heading north on 23rd in Richmond, you can't miss this lime green and orange building, right where the congestion gets thick. Good place to stop for a snack, because this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Bay Area.

| Nopales. This Ala Carte side dish ($2) is a perfect vegetable accompaniement to any meal here. Highly delicious & nutritious. |
 |
| Pork shank (chamorros) plate. So much meat we couldn't finish it. Absolutely fantastic rice and beans made from scratch using stock. Extremely fresh pico de gallo. Oh yeah, did I mention the in house made yellow corn tortillas? Scroll down. |
Above and below: the Huitlacoche (a fungus that grows on corn) and squash blossom quesadilla, perfectly in season right now, and this is the only restaurant I know of in the Bay Area that serves this dish.
Well, Robin and I discovered this gem of a Mexican restaurant in Richmond about a month ago, and I wish I had taken photos the first time, but we'll certainly be going back. We're talking first-rate Mole Poblano & Barbacoa (lamb version), plus we got guacamole and some nopales to die for, plus a top-notch array of salsas and in house made tortillas. Last time we were there the highlight was the Huitlacoche (nutty-tasting corn fungus!!!) quesadillas served also with squash blossoms. Here's just a preview, we'll definitely be heading back.
