Although it's not so little anymore, the Cafe still features classic Mexican fare with some upscale twists. Appetizer favorites include the guacamole -- servers make it tableside -- and the salsa sampler, an assortment of all seven house-made salsas, including the spicy habanero and mild verde. Entrees include house-made tamales, enchiladas, burritos and fajitas, plus grilled choices like wood-grilled duck breast with black beans and charcoal-grilled pork tenderloin with chorizo.
