At this "Tex-Mex Heaven," breakfast is served every day and the margaritas are made with fresh-squeezed juices. No sign of guardian angels, though, and Maudie's still charges for the food.
Serves the full pantheon of Mexican delights in big portions and at great prices. The tamales are to die for, and the pork with green sauce is fit for the gods.
Mexican breakfasts, sweet horchata, and the sunny red and white interior could whisk the fog out of anyone's morning brain.
Great location, conjunto on the jukebox, and some of the best enchiladas rojas around.
This popular venue specializes in El Paso-style variations such as stacked Santa Fe enchiladas, along with excellent margaritas and Dos Equis on tap.
The crowds gathering at all hours attest to the loyal following Torchy's has developed. Look for crowdpleasers like their fried avocado taco or inventive takes like the ahi-tuna-filled Mr. Pink. Make sure to try the breakfast menu too.
This tiny hole-in-the-wall tortilla factory churns out fresh corn and flour tortillas throughout the day. But they also serve simple Mexican home cooking – like nopales con puerco, carne deshebrada, and picadillo – in tacos, gorditas, or plates with beans and rice. Don't leave without a container of one of their splendid salsas.
