Poquito Mas

The Scene – White-tiled tables and green plastic chairs fill the covered indoor-outdoor dining room. Half-walls allow in the breeze on sunny days, and plasticine curtains can be drawn to shut out rain. Worker bees and families flock here during the midday lunch rush and for inexpensive dinners. Counter service adds to the relaxed environment. – – The Food – Priding themselves on the motto "we don't serve fast food, we serve fresh food as fast as we can," this quality taco stand is known for ample portions, freshly made tortillas, and burritos packed so full of prime…

Editor's Tips

Save Time:: Arrive before noon or after 3pm to avoid the lunch rush for tables and parking, or call in your order for pick up.
Know Before You Go:: For low-carb options, add steak or chicken to the Caesar salad and forego croutons, or try any one of the tostada salads without the shell.
Save Money:: Free vegetarian tortilla soup is offered with $5 purchase on rainy days.
What to Drink:: Cool down with the refreshing traditional drinks of horchata (sweet rice-milk) or jamaica (think fruit-punch-meets-iced-tea).

Delicious Salsa, Free Water with Lids

by charlenecheng at Citysearch

So far, at this Poquito Mas I've spotted the middle Hanson brother, Josh Lucas, and Josh Lucas's dog. Foodwise, I've had the enchiladas, been and cheese burrito, cobb salad, and chile pasilla plate.

I would say that the food was less exciting than Josh Lucas (I really enjoyed "Sweet Home Alabama"), but more exciting than the brother Hanson (my Backstreet Boys loyalties run deep). I was ambivalent about Josh Lucas's dog, as s/he isn't famous. The chips are particularly exciting to me, as they serve as a vessel to drink salsa with. I usually get the textured black one and the bright red one with seeds. I don't know what they're called, but I'm they're both made with a mixture of chili peppers, tomatoes and magic.

This location sells Snapple Lemon Tea, which is nice because I really appreciate a good Snapple fact with my Mexican food. Here's a fact for you: on rainy days Poquito Mas gives away free soup. I would say that the soup isn't great enough for you to make a trip just to get it for free, but if you were planning on eating there anyway it's a pretty nice treat. You can always get free water though. It comes in a clear cup with a lid and everything. Places tend to skimp on lids with their free waters, and then you have to deal with floaty dust and debris in your water. Not here though.

Cheap eats, quick service

Poquito Mas is one of my favorite stand-by eat-out places. The food is good and there's a decent variety to keep it interesting. The staff carry the food out to the tables for added convenience. My favorites are the chicken burrito and the quesadillas.

Healthy, tasty and reasonably priced

Parking notwithstanding this is fantastic California styled Mexican food. The staff is very hard working and the food is consistently prepared at a breakneck pace.
