Nestled in the heart of the South First zone of Mexican restaurants, El Borrego de Oro differentiates itself by its trademark lamb dishes, not to mention a terrific stewed pork in chile verde, enchiladas, flautas, and tacos of many varieties, including barbacoa, beef tongue, fajitas, chicken, or piccadillo. Any Saturday or Sunday, you can observe (or participate in) lots of morning-after menudo consumption, and there are several other hearty soups available as well. On your way out, pick up some tamales to go.
