    Not calling this place a "hole in the wall", but if you typically like the food at those places, this will be up your alley plus they have fantastic friendly service in a family atmosphere.

    My family's favorite restaurant for more than a decade. Try the Chicken Diablo, Queso Del Mar, or Fajita Nachos
