Don't expect much. There are some really great restaurants, but in general, the area is a dump. Go when the Latinos are having one of their festivals - those are always great.

I eat here probably every month - love El Xocalo, they have a coupon online so I can save money. Don't have to wait - generous portions, amazing food, friendly atmosphere. The owner always comes by - love this place! More

Lots of hispanic culture around just not always in the food. Most restaurants serve what Americans think of as Mexican food. Wish they would improve parking and close the street to only perdestrians. More

I wish there were more Mexicans working there....was hoping to try out some of the spanish I have been learning, and no one could speak it. Likely the cooks and people behind the scenes were... More
