Soy de veracruz, pedi nuevamente un arroz a la tumbada (digo nuevamente por que anteriormemte lo pedia pero esta vez sin sabor parecia caldo blanco y el arroz a la tumbada es rojo con epazote para el sabor de la suiza veracruzana.
Mi esposa pidio una mojarra enchipotlada y resulta que estaba cruda por dentro y el sabor de la mojarra a estanque o como si la descongelaran digo no es lo.mismo en veracruz pero en momtreal si se tiene tiendas donde tienen buen sabor la mojarra. Mejor nos fuismos y regresamoa lamojarra al 95% y aun asi la cobraron. Digo pagarla a un 50% es justo. Pero en fin.... VOLVER A REGRESAR NO!

Tried Iris for the first time today. The food is spectacular & authentic. This woman owned business makes you feel like you are eating at your mom's place. Everyone who waited on us was friendly & accomodating. We have eaten at many restaurants of this type of cuisine but this is one of the very best: & they serve Tamales!

Lovely place, the food is delicious & very affordable. (FYI this review was written when Iris specialized in Salvadoran pupusas. The restaurant switched owners since then & is now a Mexican restaurant that I haven't tried.)
