 Beware: Not all Alma Latina restaurants are created equal. But if you make it to the correct one — the location on Telephone Road in the Second Ward — your journey will be richly rewarded. Stay away from the breakfast tacos and instead focus on dishes like the hot, vividly flavored menudo or t... More >> |

 This old Southern diner, which looks a bit like an eccentric Denny’s inside, opened in 1946. The waitress calls you "hon," and the chicken-fried steak, Southern-fried chicken and fried shrimp are among the best in the city. More >> |

And yes, the food arrives very fast, but this is anything but fast food. This stuff has soul. And flavor. Lots of flavor. A huge old-fashioned... More >> |

But the ribs are moist, juicy and tasty, making the All You Can Eat Ribfest ($15.99) on weekends the best... More >> |

This tiny little place that looks like grandma?s house, complete with the front porch, gated lot and cozy feel (okay, so it?s a total hole-in-the-wall). It?s as if you?ve stepped out of Texas and into El Salvador, which, by the way, is the main focus of their cuisine. It?s not surprising that... More >> |
