Taco Diner   

What would you expect from a place called Taco Diner? Chances are the answer is tacos, but don't go into Taco Diner looking for beef, lettuce, tomato and cheese packed into a crispy shell. Theirs are served in the traditional Mexico City taco-stand style, in an open flour tortilla. And the fillings are anything but Taco Bell fare. Here, you can get tacos stuffed with fish, pork, chicken and yes, even plain old beef. Everything on the menu has that special little Tex-Mex citric acid twang to it that opens up your taste buds just enough to enjoy the spice. Atmosphere is an afterthought at Taco Diner, so go for the food. Money can be an afterthought, too; you won't have to hit the ATM before you hit Taco Diner. The kids menu is full of cheap and tasty choices to keep the little ones happy. -- Bryan Lindsey
