one of the best restaurants in town!. okay, i just wanted to inform other reviewer that babalu's isn't mexican!!!!! it is cuban food. everyone is so accustomed to the typical american mexican food: greasy, a type of meat in a soft or fried shell, tomato sauce, and cheese in huge portions. if you are looking for that, don't go to babalu's. but, if you are looking for different, non- greasy, latin- style food go and try it out. when i went, it was quite loud inside, but it was also a saturday. fortunately,we were able to get a table outside.i am a huge i love lucy fan and loved the show being projected on the wall.first, we ordered the queso blanco and it was amazing! i would definitely add the tomatoes though. it wasn't your typical white cheese dip. then, we got the table side guacamole. it was the best guac i have ever had! for my main meal, i ordered the hongas taco. it's the mushroom one. it was very good and much better than the typical taco! the service was nice and i would go back again in a heartbeat.
