About
This perky, quick-service Mexican joint is known for its regional specialties like the molcajete, a jumble of nopales (cactus paddles), carne asada, chorizo, chicken and cheese. If grilled cactus isn’t your thing, there are plentiful burritos, tostadas, and tacos to choose from. Camarones (shrimp), another specialy, can be had seven ways. Wash it all down with a refreshing horchata. Rustic touches like sponged marigold walls and handcrafted Mexican artifacts make this a cozy spot for a speedy lunch or lazy dinner.
