La Única Restaurant

Tacos al Pastor

Marinated pork carved off a trompo, bright with achiote and pineapple — the benchmark dish for any serious Mexican spot

Pozole

Rich, deeply flavoured hominy soup — the kind that takes hours to develop and signals whether a kitchen truly understands Mexican home cooking

Tamales

Handmade masa parcels, properly moist and generously filled — often a tell for whether the kitchen has real craft

Enchiladas

Rolled tortillas smothered in house-made chili sauce — a comfort-food staple executed with the depth of a home kitchen

Agua Fresca

House-made fruit waters — a small but telling detail that separates restaurants rooted in Mexican tradition from those that aren't
