These folks are expert purveyors of real Norteño-style meats -- grilled, stewed, and braised. If you're hungry, you can't beat the Pancho Grande platter (a juicy sirloin steak, a giant crispy chile relleno brimming with gooey white cheese, flavorful red rice, real refried beans, and all the tortillas you can eat). Both the corn and flour tortillas are thick, fresh, and housemade. Another winner is the fork-tender cabrito stewed in a thick spicy adobo. Beer and margaritas are available, and the stellar jukebox plays continuous classics from south of the border.
