I cannot believe that neither Baconator, nor Sauce Boss has mentioned Cucaramacara yet. I will remedy this great injustice now. If you even remotely enjoy Mexican food, then you will surely find something that you will enjoy on their menu.
First of all, everything there is very fresh. I have been to Cucaramacara 6 times, and even though I still can't pronounce the name properly, I have never had a bad dish there. Everything is hand made in the kitchen that is visible from the counter, and is hand delivered to your table. The best dishes on the menu, in my opinion, are the burritos. All of the burritos are over stuffed and wrapped in a soft tortilla that won't crack apart or unwrap as you eat it.
If you want to treat yourself to the best of the best, order the Macho Man burrito. It contains black beans, rice, steak, guacamole, lettuce, pico de gallo, oaxaca cheese (or Ox caca as Sauce Boss says), sour cream, and plantains. Yes, plantains, and before you turn your nose up at it because it's "different", hear me out. The plantain is cooked, and sliced lengthwise. It is then wrapped up in the burrito, so every bite has some plantain in it. It lends a sweet flavor that compliments the savory steak in a way that just has to be experienced.
The best part of this burrito is that when it is served, the waitress walks up to the table, looks at you expectantly and says "Macho Man?” You can nod confidently and say "yes... yes I am."
