Restaurant Name: The Grand Cafe
While the general decor/ambience of this clean and recently redecorated restaurant leaves something to be desired, it's not fancy or "mexican themed", the collection of Maryln Monroe photographs and memoribilia on the walls is quite a sight. But the FOOD is the best authentic Mexican in town and the Service is always friendly. Open daily except Sunday for lunch and dinner it can be very busy at lunch time between 1215 &1PM with a consequent slow down in service. Arrive early at 11AM or later at 1PM and settle in for a leasurely meal. I recommend either the "Mexican Flag Combo" (my favorite) or the "Grand Combo" for a nice sample of three different entre items. No liquor, cervesa (beer) & vino only.
Favorite Dish: "Flag Combo" Refried beans and tortillias made with canola oil vs. lard, delicious and heart healthy. One each; Green corn tomale, Cheese enchilada with a mild green sauce, and enchilada with a tangy but not scorching red sauce on a bed of shredded lettuce. All salsas are made fresh in house. Serving is ample for a big eater but if you want more order the "Grand Combo" which adds a generous serving of spanish riceto the above.
