Description
El Norte's kitchen consists of but a small grill back behind the bar; the menu is consequently limited to small, simple plates that run between five and eight dollars. Think of it as a sheltered taco truck (there's a patio out back for when it's nice) where you can sit down and party, only one where a plate of carne asada tacos comes stuffed with three times as much steak and salsa as you'd get at a Winnebago window. The tacos are filling and delicious, the ceviche contains fresh-caught halibut, and the nachos are spicy and surprisingly light. Sitting at Mr. Villa's bar, it turns out, is well worth the walk.
