TORTILLERIA LA MEXICANA #5 – Mexican
A scratch kitchen on East Hinson Avenue where the tortillas, salsas and guacamole are made in house and the room fills fast, sometimes with live music going. The menu runs from birria tacos and chimichangas to mixed fajita parrilladas that arrive still spitting, plus shrimp cocktail, ceviche tostadas, and horchata or a pineapple margarita alongside. Diners come back for the queso and chips as much as anything, and consistently say the plates are bigger than the prices suggest. Warm service, generous portions, nothing precious about any of it.
