This tiny joint is as much about the sounds as the tastes. Diners are greeted by the comforting whir of the air conditioner, and the suspended TV plays Spanish-language soaps. And after placing your order, you can hear the sounds of each dish being prepared—the chopping of avocados for the divine guacamole, the beating of eggs to batter-coat killer chiles rellenos, the spattery sound of picadillo in the skillet. The only noises you add are the pop of an ice-cold beverage and a groan of satisfaction. (8/13)
