"This Tex-Mex joint has been serving up hearty enchiladas, migas, and crispy tacos since 1953, but they’ve recently shifted operations a bit to cope with the coronavirus pandemic, including closing temporarily on Sundays. In addition to the to-go menu, the restaurant is also selling take-and-bake dishes like a gooey cheese-covered Tex-Mex casserole. Other menu standouts include the elotes kolache, and the margaritas, which are now available to go. Order online or through the Toast takeout app." - Brittanie Shey, Kayla Stewart
