La Virgen de Las Nieves

I am no expert on Mexican food. However, my husband and I walked into this unassuming corner restaurant thinking it was a corner store. It was 2pm and people were eating at a couple of the small tables. One guy had a soup that smelled so very good, we knew we’d be back and we grabbed a menu. We’ve done take-​out three times and have tried things we had never seen on other Mexican menus before (or hadn’t noticed), like the Tlacoyas. This is 3 flat breads that have beans cooked in them, and are topped high with greatness. They are SPICY because of the chili sauce. We liked the chicken and the pork, and both times we had leftovers. We’ve ordered nachos twice with meat and the flavor was great, and a good portion. A few days ago we ordered two new things off the menu. We ordered steak fajitas, and we were so impressed with the flavor and fresh ingredients. It is one of the best I’ve had, however I think I prefer other tortillas. We also got the shredded deep fried pork Huaraches, not knowing what it was. I’d like to think of it as a gourmet taco pizza, because it was a long flat almost flaky crust topped with the yummy pork, great cheese, cactus and sour cream. This place is consistently generous with how high they stack the ingredients, so we had left overs. The spice level is high on a lot of the food, so have a good beer ready.
