El Burrito Mercado is our go-to for Mexican cuisine. They’ve been making spicy salsas, perfectly crisp flautas, and fluffy tamales since 1979. We’re especially thankful for not having to play favorites between green and red sauces with the burrito ahogado, which lets us enjoy both chili flavors soothed by the melted cheese hiding underneath the tortilla. There’s an adjacent grocery store in case you want to make your enchiladas at home, but don’t be surprised if you ditch those plans and end up back here in a few days—their Taco Tuesday and Happy Hour specials are some of the best in town.
