This Riverwalk restaurant is one of the original Tex-Mex spots, and the spot retains its honest, homey feel amidst the corporatized atmosphere of Riverwalk dining. The waitresses dress in Mexican peasant blouses and colorful skirts, and the occasional mariachi group strolls by on their Riverwalk circuit. You can dine indoors or out, but on any pleasant evening, the indoor tables will be open more quickly. The fare is simple and extremely inexpensive. My companion had soft chicken tacos, served under a lovely chili sauce, and I had chicken enchiladas, filled with shredded, spiced meat. Our meals were around $6.00 each. The salsa and chips they provide beforehand were a treat. The salsa, especially, is freshly made with a nice tangy bite; the red and yellow corn chips freshly fried.
