Wow, I’m not a huge dessert fan but this cake was frickin’ amazing (and beautiful)! I loved the texture of the moist cake and marshmallow meringue. The cake was sweet, but not overly so and the toasted coconut flakes were awesome. I actually just noticed that Bluestem no longer has this cake on their dessert menu, boo! So I’m glad that I was able to try it before it was 86’ed. NOMS!

The Little Chihuahua serves quality food. BUT there does tend to be a lot of loud kids in the place because I think it’s one of the few restaurants that Noe Valley parents can comfortably bring their obnoxious kids to, lol! Don’t get me wrong, I love kids. Just not loud annoying ones. 🙂

Anyway, I love the nachos at Little Chihuahua. The flavors are great and there’s plenty of it. I still have mixed feelings about the salsa bar. Everything I’ve tried seems to be on the sour/acidic side. They need to find a better balance with their salsas.
