El Maguey Y La Tuna

When I first heard of El Maguey Y La Tuna (321 East Houston Lower East Side) I mistakenly translated the name to mean the magician and the tuna fish. What? My bad Spanish gave way to a little research, which revealed that it actually means the agave plant and the prickly pear cactus. Which makes sense considering that this is their logo... Another puzzling thing to me is why the food here is so outstanding yet no one knows about it. Really. El Maguey Y La Tuna is a strong contender in my own personal Mole Olympics. The enchiladas with red mole, mmm! Really phenomenal.
