The garbage plates and burgers are usually flavorful, filling and well-priced, though quality can dip on certain items and a few service and safety complaints deserve attention. Try: Garbage plate.
The colorful, distinctive room and friendly moments give this Mexican restaurant plenty of character. Carnitas, churros, tacos, and burritos earn real praise, but cold or poorly prepared food, slow service, and questionable charges appear often enough to matter. Try: Carnitas.
