The stelote combo, steak paired with elote-style corn, is a genuinely unique menu item that isn't really found at other Mexican spots around the city, and it's become the thing this location gets recommended for specifically.
The real reason to plan around a visit, though, is Taco Tuesday: $2.50 select tacos (dine-in only) and $7 margaritas, all day, every Tuesday -- a legitimately deep discount for a menu built around live-fire steak.
