Super MEX Mexican Restaurant

Try Carnitas

My husband and I have been eating at this restaurant for about 20 years! We like to go Saturday nights for early dinners, 5:00 -ish. That way there’s never a wait for a table. Prices were recently raised a bit, but most full dinners are under $8.50. Full bar, inside and outside eating. Take out is fast and virtually the same food as on the regular menu. I especially like their chiles rellenos. They will substitute beans for rice and make special suggestions. Isidro is a nice waiter, actually the staff is all very nice and competent.
There is a sign up stating that they don’t want take out meals to be eaten on the premises.

Great family place, also a meeting place for the college crowd.
Old fashioned, not fancy, booths and tables, compact but not too noisy to hear conversations.
Try it, you’ll like it. Not greasy, and there’s something for everyone.

Thai Spice

Great Takeout

We recently discovered this chain, and we’re glad we did. I was looking for a Chinese-y place and it was right here in our “own backyard”.
We especially appreciate the fact they can use several levels of spices and added heat—we like ours mild .

Try the Thai iced tea if you enjoy a very sweet version. It is made with tea and condensed (sweet) milk. Like a dessert in a cup.

We especially like the chicken and shrimp dishes, and we heartily recommend the wor wonton soup. A friend loves their curried dishes. You can order on-line, by phone or, as I do, walk-in. Ambiance is missing and place is small, but it is fine for quick lunches and to-go.
