| - Just ate Miguel's for lunch today and got my fill of fast food Mexican for a decent price. I'm not overly impressed by the place, but it makes for a nice meal if you're in the Paw Creek area (85 and Little Rock Rd.). There's an open "veranda" for dining (read: a dining room with out doors or windows attached on the front) that was a nice touch on a day like today. Fast, cheap, and loaded with salt, what else could you ask from a local Mexican joint?
They have all the regular dishes you would find on a menu in a down-home Mexican place, plus lunches specials for about $5-$6. I got the Speedy Gonzales, an enchilada, taco, and rice for a respectable $5.75. The service was rather impersonal and task-focused, but maybe it was just one of those days. I agree with Tonya that the sketch factor of restaurants like these "raise the stakes": you'll either discover a hidden treasure or the Bates motel. Miguel's, however, wasn't either one. So maybe the "ho-hum"-ness of this place was my false expectations. No hidden treasures here, just decent Mexican food.
