Re caviar -- years ago I had a Persian boyfriend and when we broke up he had a 500 g tin of caviar that he'd brought back from Iran for me, but that I never got to enjoy! For years I did use the huge container of Iranian saffron he'd gotten for me on a previous trip back home...
My friend from India told me that Indians got saffron from Iran. I found it so surprising.
anyway yelp had some very negative comments for Casa de Isaac which is why I tried Michoacán and then instantly loved it. It tasted like nice taqueria mexican food that I get in San Francisco.
