Delivery’s the best dining option for this Mexican storefront, where cheery, margarita-colored walls and usually-full seating offset the otherwise anemic décor, consisting of a flag, a half-empty bakery case, and piñatas perched atop a drink fridge. Better still, suspend your design radar and dial up your appetite, for huge portions of south-of-the-border fare smothered in carefully cooked sauces, like a sharp guajillo that spikes simple pork tacos garnished with onion, cilantro, and a drizzle of lime. Otherwise, dry tamales are restored by a fiery chipotle, and potent, multi-layered mole enlivens chicken stew. Overstuffed burritos far fresher than local rival Benny’s run the gamut, filled with cactus or meat or shrimp. Locals favor the tasty, filling, and easy-on-the wallet breakfasts. — Kathleen Squires
