House-made horchata, aguas frescas, and Mexican sodas round out the drinks, and the kitchen leans on traditional preparations rather than Tex-Mex shortcuts.

Reservations aren't necessary — it's order-at-the-counter style with sidewalk tables along Espanola Way. Takeout is available, and street parking is metered along Washington Avenue with several public garages within a few blocks (the 12th Street and 13th Street municipal garages are closest).
