Editorial Review for Poquito Mas – by Michelle R. Phipps
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 ingredients there is usually no room for rice-and-bean fillers. The grilled carnitas quesadilla is stuffed with flavorful pork, Jack and cheddar cheese. Tender shrimp, guacamole and cheese fill the San Felipe burrito--topping any burrito with rich red mojado sauce turns it into an oversized enchilada. Meatless nature's grill dishes, like the crispy-shelled tostada, brim with a mix of zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, peppers and onions.

Poquito Mas is not the best known Mexican chain around, but it's definitely the best. Forget La Salsa or Baja Fresh, or even Chipotle. Poquito Mas is where it's at. Not just because it's cheaper or serves the same stuff as the other guys but better. No, Poquito Mas does really inventive things with their food like grilled eggplant and zuchini in their quesedillas, and ahi tuna in their burritos. They don't do the same things as everyone else, they definitely do a poquito mas.
