This is as much an 'experience' as it is a delicious meal. The place has (I suspect deliberately maintained) the classic 'dive' look. With some of the best Mexican food ever.
The young man who took our order was very patient and helpful!
We tried to order a little bit of everything so everyone could sample. (and yes...the tortillas are crazy-good!)
Not a single food item was less than delicious...a couple were MORE delicious in our opinion. The shredded beef is amazing...so anything with that.
In particular DO NOT MISS the red and/or green chile burros! Everyone's favorites out of all we sampled.
If you are a tamale and enchilada lover...then don't skip those either. The soft chicken taco was wonderful as well.
The salsa is thin but tasty...and the heat sneaks up on you after several bites...so don't immediately dismiss its impact!
If you are feeling especially adventurous, try the two Agua Frescas flavors at the soda fountain! (Yummy and unlike any soda flavors in the USA)
Between the crowds and the intense desert heat, I think this place really struggles with keeping cool...so either go before the hottest part of the day, or during a lull in the crowd to minimize your 'sweat factor'!
