Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at, in Cleveland or anywhere. Since we are "locals," we try to go as often as we can, and it never disappoints. At our last visit, after trying a new tamale dish, I literally hugged the owner/chef, Eric Williams, as we were leaving the restaurant. My absolute favorite dish is the Machaca. The layers of flavor will make you weep. All of the margaritas are outstanding, but the cucumber is particularly fabulous. Also, if you want some adventure, drink a Michalada (beer with worchestershire and housemade habanero sauce in salted glass). The guacamoles and salsas are to die for. When you go, it's best to have a reservation (made light-years in advance), but if you go without one - it is so worth the wait.
