El Diablo, the latest venture of Sean Yontz and Jesse Morreale, features a cozy, casual décor. It’s a mixture of old world Mexico and the myths of El Diablo combined with cholo-chicano and low-rider culture of the U. S. Deep reds, browns, ambers and gold set the scene. The focal point bar with tequila displays are in the center of the room with seating all around. The food is traditional Mexican with an extensive taco list, al pastor cooker, with 14 options from al poster and fish to pork belly and their signature el Diablo. Soups, salads, and Mexican appetizers are other delights. Traditional plates of mole, enchiladas, baby back ribs, sea bass, burritos, and tortas make decisions difficult.

Some dishes not to miss include the queso, divine onion soup, oxtail tamal, guacamole, sopes with chorizo, quesadilla with huitlachoche, and chop salad. The duck mole, molcajete, and fish tacos are a few more amazing choices from the huge menu.

Do not leave without cajeta crepes, the cajeta sundae, or chocolate brownie with hazelnut ice cream. An extensive bar menu adds more excitement for diners. All your favorite margaritas, wines, and beer with one of the most extensive tequila and mescal lists complement the food. And you can get take out until 4am. El Diablo is the perfect answer for fun and great Mexican food in the great Baker area.
