I am so glad a friend recommended the Detour Bar (which does NOT have food) because it is right around the corner from this gem! To start, the red salsa was so fantastic I over ate on chips, put what was left over on my flauta plate and bought a jar to take home. The beef flautas were well-stuffed, served with sour cream and guac and the came came with great beans and rice. My friend had the mole cheese enchiladas and she said she was still thinking about the mole on our drive back to Albuquerque. The place was packed on a Sat afternoon, so it has the stamp of approval from locals, which is a better review than I could ever give. It's tucked away over in a neighborhood and worth every minute to track it down!
