I particularly enjoy their El Capitan tacos with shrimp. Find the most cheerful waiter, and you're good to go.

Our instincts told us this would be an authentic if unpolished experience, and we were right. Highlight of the limited menu was probably the burger with a number of variations, though its presentation on the plate left lots of opportunity for improvement. The fajitas, on the other hand, were disappointing and had little in taste or presentation to recommend them. Atmosphere in the largely empty restaurant was not helped by a wandering street musician giving us a rendition on his ukelele of juantanmera. But it did add to the authenticity. Overall rather overpriced for the limited offerings of standard fare, but ok, if like us, you need a quick simple meal to get you through the evening.
