What to start out with, hmmm….The tortilla’s and chips are always fresh and flavorful. There is a mini serve yourself salsa bar, complete with small cups and lids. Upon entering the line is to the right, you order, they take your name and when your name is called you have to come back up to the counter to retrieve your meal. Drinks are also self serve and they have a variety of Mexican favorites. The horchata is really good.

Looking through the grainy lens of the past I see the Bob’s Big Boy across the street.  It was among the first restaurants in Mira Mesa.  Drove by many times on the way to Jack in the Box.  Only had 40 minutes before the lunch bell rang back at Mira Mesa High.  I never made it in there before it closed.  I still wonder what the food was like.

There is something about brick buildings that I just adore. Maybe it’s the architecture, symmetry or the lovely brick red color, it makes a statement loud and clear. Here I am! Come on inside! This place appealed to me right from the start. A genuine replica of Boston’s original Green Dragon Tavern, demolished in 1854. Silly people, didn’t they know what they were tearing down?
