The word 'authentic' gets tossed in front of 'Mexican restaurant' too much, but it deserves a spot when describing Antojitos Izcalli, where the barbacoa (slow-cooked meat) doesn't mess around and you can find dishes like lengua (tongue) tacos and pambazos (a sort of potato-chorizo sandwich dipped in red chili sauce). There's a kids menu, friendly service and stellar food.
