Local Cantina

Walked to this restaurant and wanted to give it a try, but the place was loud, crowded, a bit of a mess, and there was no one at the door to greet us.  I guess if you want this type of atmosphere, it might work, but not our cup of tea.  We decided to pass, and went next door to Aladdin's for a great meal instead.  For great Mexican food with good service and generous drinks, Rancho Alegre is my preference.

They have brunch from 11am-4pm on weekends, and a festive selection of Mexican alcoholic beverages. The interior reminds me of being on vacation in Mexico.  Self-serve free salsa and dip is a nice touch. The variety of $3 tacos are alright - I prefer mine to have a little more kick/flavor though. Overall, i'm down to return. It's cool that Grandview has a chill spot like this amidst its more typical, fancier Italian restaurants.

Bring back dollar well drinks for happy hour, and I'll be back...
