"At the forefront of the Mexican culinary scene in Tacoma, Washington, is Vuelve a la Vida, which translates to "come back to life." Here, the focus is on authentic Mexican flavors, steering clear of Americanized staples like chips and salsa. My asada (steak) taco, served on a corn tortilla with whole beans, is excellent. However, the real highlight is the incredibly tasty tamales, featuring masa dough wrapped around a flavorful filling of red chile pork. Honestly, just two of these delicious tamales are enough for a satisfying lunch at only $5."
