This local favorite, slinging big plates of simple and tasty Mexican and American fare in a residential neighborhood, has been going strong since 1958. Lunch specials, such as the green chili con carne enchilada, are great value at $9 including beans, rice and tortillas, and free iced tea or agua fresca.
