El Sombrero Cafe

This kind of hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint can be found all over California but not always so readily elsewhere. It's also the kind of family-run (since 1950) place increasingly forced out of Vegas by giant hotel conglomerates, making it even more worth your time. Mexican-food fans, in particular, should seek out this friendly place, though it's not in an attractive part of town. Portions are generous and unexpectedly spicy. The staff also caters to special requests -- changing the beef burrito to a chicken one (an option that comes highly recommended), for example, without batting an eyelash. The enchilada and taco combo also won raves.
