Better choices are the basic entrees such as the carne asada taco or any of the burritos, the cheese quesadilla, or their specialties like La Ranchera, a large tortilla packed with cheese, chicken, carne asada, onions and tomatoes. The bean and cheese burrito on the kid’s plate tastes pretty good. They also make an excellent flan for dessert. And I liked that they serve a fresh fruit plate for dessert.
