Pueblo Viejo formerly Zumaya's

Mini-review (no pics, sorry)
We're on a roll here, hitting a couple of great Mexican restaurants in a row. Zumaya's has been bought by (I'm assuming) the family that owns Pueblo Viejo in Van Nuys. Why else would you change the name of a restaurant you've just bought? We were assured that new owners wouldn't change the menu, and I think that's a good thing.
My chili verde was delicious, just the right amount of spice. This was a welcome discover after the "worst chili verde ever" that I had at El Conquistador. The chili relleno was also quite good. Unfortunately, it wasn't the amazingly freshly fried treat I was hoping for, but I understand that a proper relleno really only has about 2 minutes of optimum deliciousness once out of the fryer. The sauce for the relleno was much better and authentic than the sauce at La Cabanita. Overall, a quiet little place with very authentic food and actually a very distinct, excellent margarita. No chips were harmed during the entire meal.
