Fodor's Review:

Locals swear by the ultracheap, superspicy cooking at this restaurant and Mexican grocery. Browse for your favorite dried chilies, and contemplate a large menu loaded with typical favorites and a few surprises. The world's best hangover remedy might be posole (a rich stew with hominy and beef broth). Thick pork chops are bathed in a spicy green tomatillo sauce, and chicken fajitas bear no resemblance to the mall-chain version: they're spicy, juicy, and delightful. Swab everything with any of three homemade sauces, but be warned: the one designated "hot" will taste like a midday August sun.
