El Canelo kinda sucks. There is another really good Mexican restaurant on Transit near Walden, but I can’t remember the name. Really, the only place around here that had amazing Mexican food was El Caporal, and they’re no longer around ☹ ---

Umm, I had something with meat and lettuce in a tortilla with sauce and/or cheese on top and sides of orange rice and refried beans. That shit’s all the same to me. I have no idea what I had. :shrug: ---

My vote is for Coyote Cafe, even if it isn’t authentic. There’s a place in EA called Arriba which is good too, again Tex-Mex though. ---
