"Open for: Breakfast, lunch, dinnerPrice range: $Harkening back to the time when Walker’s Point was largely comprised of Latine families, this restaurant wears its years and peeling paint with pride. Expect homestyle friendliness, classic Mexican cooking, and a whole lot of spice when you dine in, including steaming bowls of menudo and pozole are hearty, fiery antidotes to your hangover or cold, respectively. The mole and birria simmer all day to produce vivid, earthy flavors. Of special note is the bistec en chile de arbol: tender, scraggly scraps of steak in a scorching silken mahogany sauce, which makes for a dangerous DIY taco mix. Know before you go: Arbol salsa is available upon request to pro-level spice seekers." - Todd Lazarski
