El Tepeyac Cafe

The casual, unpretentious dining room centers on counter seating that often puts patrons right in the thick of a packed lunch crowd. Beyond the scale of the portions, the menu leans on time-honored staples like beef tacos, cheese enchiladas, and well-regarded menudo. The enduring draw, however, is the Manuel's Special burrito with pork in chile colorado—a fixture that keeps longtime neighborhood regulars and curious visitors streaming through the door.
