La Tertulia

A family-run Mexican restaurant with handmade tortillas, weekend menudo, and a salsa bar that regulars guard like a state secret. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the birria tacos on weekends draw a line out the door. The dining room is bright and unpretentious — families at folding tables, telenovelas on the wall-mounted TV, and a warmth that makes first-timers feel like regulars.
