| - I checked out Superica on their opening day, and honestly expected it to be pricy with small portions. I was very wrong! The menu is more expensive than most Mexican restaurants, but it turned out to be a steal for what you get. The extras that come with meals make a $11.99 lunch special more than worth it.
You get chips and two salsas to start out with. They're free! The chips were crispy, fresh, and plentiful. The two salsas were a green tomatillo/avocado (fresh, light, tangy) and a more traditional cantina salsa (with just a little heat). You can turn up the heat to your liking with their addictive house hot sauce.
Lunch specials give you the option of two items for $11.99. Ther are enchiladas, soft and hard tacos, soup, salad, and more to choose from. I opted for a beef enchilada with a brown chili gravy and chicken mole enchilada. Both were divine - a serious step up from your run of the mill Tex Mex, and a decent size too. On top of that, you get bottomless refried beans (which are made with pork, btw) with melted cheese, and rice. If you enjoy it as much as I did, you'll end up mixing the leftover enchilada sauces with the beans and the rice, and using a few chips to scoop! There really isn't any need for the beans and rice to be bottomless if you are eating by yourself, because they are both huge sides served in separate dishes than your entree (they may be shared when eating in groups, but I was by myself).
I will certainly be putting Superica in my regular rotation for lunch. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive. And the service was very fast (in and out in 30 minutes). The food is step above what you'd expect from most Tex-Mex joints, and the servings aren't chintzy - you will leave very full! And this was on opening day, which was impressive!
