This place is not appealing to the eye, but the parking lot is always full. The chips and salsa are Ok to me, but they have the best cheese enchiladas I have ever eaten. I don't ever remember receiving a bad plate of food. On the weekend you can also browse Treasure City Flea Market across the street as well as many other shops on LaSalle Ave.
