Mikey snapped this pic and tweeted about it a little bit ago, so I tried to do some reporterly sleuthing and asked him about ‘em:
Sadly, scrumptious though they looked I didn’t bite the bait
Anybody else bite the bait?

I’ve tried ‘em. They are up tied with Mission Mini’s Red Velvet as favorite cupcakes.
heh.. nothing new, these have been at el metate for about 6 months now. very tasty, especially the frosting.
i went there the other day with a friend, those little guys are delicious.
Frosting good,cupcake bad. Dry. Shockingly the Red Velvet was really bad.
i totally agree. wanted to get some for my valentine bday back in february and was really disappointed.
I’ve tried them and they taste nothing like horchata. They taste more like tiramisu.
Don’t live up to their promise. Very dry and very mildly flavored. I like my cupcakes moist and sweet.
ITT: white people being racist against mexican pastries. sorrrrrrrry their bread isnt as moist as your silver spoon fed mouths are used to!
Except these cupcakes are made by (probably) white people? And horchata is a beverage, not a mexican pastry? And what? What?
Seriously? do you guys at mission mission live in Berkeley? And El Metate? Might as well go to Chevy’s.
Brown person weighing in! They’re alright. Not super amazing, not bad. Just OK.
