Mac's Steak in the Rough

I used to work here in high school and still eat here when I’m in town. They have the best taquitos you'll ever have, but the real draw is the "steak in the rough," deep-fried breaded steak fingers served with handmade coleslaw and fries. WONDERFUL! I used to have to make the coleslaw everyday, and the secret ingredient, believe it or not, is sugar.

Mac’s also makes fresh, hand squeezed limeade and lemonade and make their burgers and guacamole fresh, every day. The taquitos are made especially for Mac's and come frozen. All they have to do is deep-fry them. They come with their homemade guacamole and salsa that is out of this world! The green chili stew is awesome but only available at the Indian School location.

There are several locations in the city and the one on Menaul has a drive-in, a drive thru window and a tiny dining room. Don’t expect anything fancy, because you’ll be disappointed. The last time I was there, this past weekend (Mar 2006) the outside was in bad need of some attention, but the food was as good as ever.
