Macondo
You gotta dig a place named after the fictional city in the Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” Every bite of their “tradicional”-flavored hand-pinched pastry pockets stuffed with tender shards of beef and velvety slices of steamy potato dipped in a side of their limey green chili-infused hot sauce induces a magically realistic moment whereby butterflies of delight flutter in your brain.
