Aqui Es Texcoco is not just your everyday neighborhood barbecue place. It brings the Mexican culinary tradition of lamb barbecue to California. The restaurant gets its name from the Mexican village of Texcoco where this delicacy is cooked. The lamb is slow-cooked in a special type of underground fire pit for seven whole hours, giving it a special smoky flavor. The simple restaurant has a minimalist decor, and the focus is completely on the food. Garnering numerous accolades since it was established, it's one of the best places for authentic Mexican dining. Bring in your friends and for an amazing experience.
