But one dish that truly stands out is their Enchiladas Verdes. These green corn tortillas are filled with tender, slow-cooked pulled pork, then drowned in a pool of rich, creamy tomatillo sauce, sprinkled with crumbled queso fresco, and garnished with chopped onions and cilantro. It's a dish that's as comforting as it is exciting, and it's easy to see why it's a customer favorite.
