A few of us stopped in for dinner after the Adaptive CrossFit Games. It was toward the end of the evening, so the Fab was pretty much empty aside from another group. I ordered the qeusaberria tacos & an horchata. The horchata was phenomenal! The tacos were solid; there was too much cheese for my preference, but nothing was bad about them. The queso & chips was more or less a small skillet of melted cheese with some jalapeños & ground meat.

I initially couldn’t decide between the mango habanero aguachile and the quesabirria tacos. Then Carmen told me I could get both, but just do one taco, and I said yes so fast it was basically a reflex.

She asked if I like spicy, and y’all. She meant spicy. That mango habanero aguachile will have you breathing like a dragon, but somehow you’ll keep going back for more because it tastes that good. It’s the kind of heat that humbles you, but in a way you weirdly thank it for afterward. I’ve included a photo of my lips in the review for reference… and I might just need to get a custom lipstick made to recreate that stunning shade… I’ll call it “FAB”.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not a large woman. I’m 5’10” and about 135 lbs, and I still couldn’t stop myself from ordering another quesabirria taco. I also finished about 90% of the aguachile, which was already a very generous serving on its own.

Carmen was absolutely amazing, warm, personable, and clearly knows what she’s doing. The flavors she creates for the bar are top notch too, especially the mangonada mix she makes herself. So good.

I probably won’t be able to fit into the slacks I brought with me tomorrow, but honestly, my only regret is being too full to try more. 5 stars, easily.

DON’T COME HERE. Friend and I came here for lunch and waited 40 MINUTES for a single avocado toast. The $15 avocado toast barely had any avocado (see picture), and the chips were straight from a bag. The cheese looked as if they took it straight out of the packaging and dumped it on there cold. Eat somewhere else!
