Super Cocina is the superhero of restaurants for the masses. It was worth the short drive or taxi ride away from the Convention Center and sea of culinary mediocrity to experience possibly the most amazing lunch special I've ever had for under $8. It didn't hurt that the proprieter, sensing our newbieness, gave us small tastes of everything behind the glass counter to try. Frankly, the incredible range of flavors and subtlety behind each dish rivaled some of the most expensive restaurants I've tried. And you can tell from their expressions that they know their food is THAT good. Don't expect much from the decor, just focus on the enormous plate of eats in front of you.
