| This is the original Noche, with its hot bar scene that draws savvy sippers to sample an array of margaritas, made with one of the 30 or so high-end tequilas. A balcony in back offers an alternative to the tight banquettes and a breath of fresh air. The menu focuses on the simple snack fare that one finds chiefly in Mexico---tacos for instance---with some touches that recall other parts of the Latin culinary world. The pork on the torta cubana (a hybrid of the Mexican torta and the Cuban medianoche) sandwich seemed dry and needed a double shot of the offered mojo to make it moist, but the fish taco ($2 on Mondays along with other tacos except lobster) was a winner with its crispy slaw and salsa roja. Desserts are made in-house and for $5 offer a good portion; we liked the slightly over-decorated chocolate tres leches cake, although it's not even close to traditional in style. The wine list focuses on good values, but we would like to see better choices that go with this food. A rosado please? Beer might make a better option. Ask about specials such as those $2 tacos on Mondays. |
