This place is a two-in-one. The taqueria on the north end has a small modern fast-food seating area and nice assortment of hot entrees. The chilaquiles were delicious - a plate of chips smothered in sour-spicy green sauce (ask for red or green) and melted cheese with two poached eggs on top. A friend liked her picadilla de res taco - crumbly ground beef with tomato and spices on a freshly browned corn tortilla. There is outdoor seating next to the parking lot.
The large main grocery store has a wide selection of fresh produce including all the chiles, nopales, agave leaves and other Latin cooking items. There's a large counter with fluffy piles of umpteen kinds of sour cream. We found really good sliced muenster cheese at half the price of other places. Staples like flour, sugar and spices were bargains too.
This has basically replaced our usual trips to Los Comales nearby. It's slightly different cuisine (less tacos, more dinner plates) but I think a little better. It's also better eaten for brunch than it is for dinner, honestly. Maybe because things haven't been cooking all day? Not that it's bad in the evening, but it's super delicious in the morning.
I usually get enchiladas, and you can get them with any of a variety of fillings, all the usual suspects are present. Their red sauce is a tiny bit sweet, but has good chile flavor, and their green is spicy and tart, which is definitely playing to what I like. Rice and beans are good - with beans creamy and rice...well, normal. And the price is pretty reasonable as well. My parents like this place as well - we'll definitely be back. Not that we have exhausted all our options yet, but this is probably the best home style Mexican I've found so far, and it's close to come.
On the right side of the grocer and pretty separate from it as well. Â Very new and easily the cleanest-looking interior I ever seen as the many grocery stores that contain taquerias that I encounter are rather rough-looking. Â
Prices were really cheap as my 3 tacos and burrito came to $10. Â No complaints on the tacos, were a little big, when compared with other non-gringo establishments. Â My carnita burrito was solid, very filling and heavy, but didn't enjoy it as much the tacos. Â Both items tasted like they added some diced pepper to the filling as well.
I'd prefer this place over the 3 other Mexican eateries on the Farnsworth/Sheffer corridor.
