Great Mexican Food

by Tony15 at Citysearch

The food here is great. I always order the shredded beef burrito (Barbacoa sp?). You can actually have them make it anyway you like. The seating arrangments aren't all that great but you'll forget about that once you start eating. They also have a walk up window to order take out as well.

If you don't mind cafeteria style ambiance and beer and wine only,This place is a perfect 10. We are talking about the FOOD! GREAT FOOD. Did I mention that the food was quite good? Best chile Verde anywhere. Outstanding carnitas, moist and flavorful. If your are into menudo, this is the place The freshest tripe I have ever had mixed with lots of fresh hominy as well, only a tad of grease floats atop your feast. Chile rellenos and huevos of any kind. All, in all, a very extensive menu of tradicional mexican faire. It's a bargain too. Twenty bucks will take out a family of four with a couple Dos. Enjoy!
