Description

When you walk in this place, you feel like you got off I-45 at the Guadalajara exit. The walls are bedecked with a jaw-dropping display of Mexican pottery.

This place does a better job on slow-simmered meat dishes, Mexican breakfasts and other typical south-of-the-border fare than it does on Tex-Mex. So try the huevos, the guisados and the pork dishes, and forget about the combo platters.
