Great location, conjunto on the jukebox, and some of the best enchiladas rojas around.
The big deli case is full of baklava, fruit, flowers, and marinating lamb and beef. The portions here are enormous, and everything on the menu is made from scratch.
The mind-boggling array of authentic Chinese- and Vietnamese-style dishes places an emphasis on variety. The family that brought you Tien Hong here provides a clean, friendly environment and hard-to-beat prices.
