I'm addicted to the zesty shrimp Tacos San Felipe and the massive carnitas-stuffed burritos. This location, one of the newest, does the family proud. Start with the guacamole, made to order with Haas avocados. There's something for everybody here, from taquitos to lobster to a kids' menu. He put in a spiffy counter with 17 stools, an open kitchen, and a red, white, and green color scheme.
Some regulars come for the breakfasts of Mexican hot chocolate and huevos rancheros.
Still others come for the homemade carnitas, which are served only Friday through Sunday and always sell out by 2 p.m. each day. Three years ago, it closed for an endless remodel, leaving regulars adrift until last February. In its first weeks of reopening, many were disappointed. Lunch brings wonderful things, such as shrimp gorditas made of fat masa pockets filled with shrimp and a sort of pico de gallo. The beans are perfect, and the chips, when drizzled with a savory-spicy brown salsa and combined with fabulous miniature quesadillas, are irresistible.
