Went to Sausal with some friends for dinner the other night. I was prepared for the worst based on @Aesthete’s report but was pleasantly surprised by my meal. I’m not sure if they saw the criticisms and changed things up, but several things are different from what was described.
For one thing, the corn tortillas on the tacos appeared to be freshly made in house. I actually rather enjoyed my chicken tinga taco. For another, the tamale is now a tamale pie that works much better as a vehicle for the mole.
The guacamole was nice and chunky, and I liked how it came with freshly fried full tortillas instead of chips. The star of the show was the arroz con pollo, which was tender and smokey.
Margaritas were fine but a little heavy on the triple sec, as reported.
Sausal isn’t destination dining by any stretch. More a solid choice if you’re in the area. But I would go back to try some of the other tacos, as well as the pork chile verde, which looked tasty.
