El Pocito is a hidden gem in the downtown area, nestled between two busy streets. This casual eatery doesn't offer sit-down dining, but instead, customers can place "to-go" orders while watching the staff expertly prepare traditional Mexican dishes. The menu is limited, but the food is exceptional, with standout gorditas that are freshly made and filled with flavorful ingredients. The staff of five workers are highly organized and take pride in their work, grilling dough on a large griddle and grinding corn for fresh masa. While the restaurant may not be perfect, the great food and unique experience make it a worthwhile visit.
