Mexico Restaurant
4.7
This bright, family-friendly eatery offers a lengthy menu of fresh-made Mexican favorites. There's the familiar tacos, enchiladas and fajitas as well as such authentic Mexican dishes as menudo, birria al estilo Jalisco (shredded goat meat in spicy soup) and tongue. To drink, sip imported sodas, horchata (sweet rice drink), jamaica (a tart tea made with dried flowers) and strawberry or banana licuados (that'd be "smoothies" north of the border.) From the bar: margaritas, daiquiris, wine, Mexican beers and a selection of Mexican brand spirits.
