El Pocho is one of our absolute favourite places in the city and it never disappoints. We had never had the fixed menu before because we usually come with a smaller group but it was just as amazing as always! The food was paced well, there was a lot of it for the price, and we were pleasantly full at the end of the meal. Would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone (and we always do, because we love it dearly).
