Description

When you visit Lily's, you don't feel like you're eating at a restaurant -- you feel like you've been invited to a big family get-together thrown by owners Salvador and Adela Esparza. The menu features your favorite dishes from taquerias and more conventional Mexican restaurants: tacos, tortas and burritos; tamales, enchiladas and chiles rellenos. Can't choose? There are numerous combination plates. Whatever you order, don't be stingy with the several varieties of homemade salsa. Weekends feature posole, menudo and fantastic huevos chorizos.

    Even as restaurants and bars continue to shutter in this woeful economy, alcohol sales are buoyant. This seems to imply that people are still drinking; they just aren't going out to do it. After all, nobody cares about your empty glass more than... More »

  • 2009 | Best Margarita

    Don't let the whirring of the milkshake machine worry you, there was no miscommunication: Salvador Esparza got your order right. You're not getting some slushy kiddie drink. Lily's Special Margarita on the rocks is on its way -- hand delivered by Esparza himself. Lily's Mexican Restaurant sits quietly on the corner of Kingshighway and Devonshire Avenue, serving delicious Mexican food and the city's best margaritas, including the Special, which includes brandy, tequila and your...

  • 2004 | Best Mexican Restaurant

    Lily's is the "I know a little place" restaurant everybody wants to discover. It's not listed in the yellow pages and only recently found its way into the white pages. And once you find it, be prepared for bit of legwork. After being seated and choosing your meal, you place your order at the counter. You fill your own soda glasses and pick up your chips. After dropping all that off at your table, you proceed to the salsa bar, where you'll find six plastic tubs of the freshest, most addictive... More »
