La Mexicana Restaurant

Once a little Mexican grocery store, La Mexicana started serving tacos and gradually turned exclusively to the restaurant business. It's well known for delicious Mexican breakfasts such as huevos a la mexicana (eggs scrambled with onions, tomatoes, and serrano chiles) or migas (eggs cooked with fried tortilla strips) -- both particularly good, as are their frijoles and the green salsa de mesa -- and classic enchilada plates (red and green are good choices). Some dishes are muy auténtico, such as the nopalitos en salsa chipotle (cactus leaves cooked in chipotle chile sauce) or the tacos de guisado de puerco (pork stewed in dried chile sauce) or de chicharrón en salsa verde (pork cracklings in tomatillo sauce; one of my favorites, but not for everyone). Other dishes are Tex-Mex standbys, such as the fajitas and the combination plates. There's a choice of dining outside or inside.
