Restaurante Juquilita

Another testament to the layers upon layers of Mexican cuisine is the layers upon layers of flavor within a well-made tlayuda. It’s a thin, crunchy, lightly fried tortilla pocket lovingly stuffed with refried beans, queso fresco, avocado, salsa, and your choice of meat - which should be pork. It’s a Oaxacan specialty, hitting all flavor points, satisfaction spots, orgiastically combining everything your mouth may want to feel at the same times. There’s crunch, grease, a savory pie-like delivery system, creaminess, fatty bean smear, gooey, hot cheese, charry grilled meat, plenty of bright pepper pop. Top bites in rotation with salsas that are in turn fresh and bright, silky and hot, smoky. It’s one of the few tlayudas in town, perfect for nights when you can’t decide on Mexican or pizza. Don’t wait for tomorrow, have both now.
