Mexican restaurant · Lazy Brook

@eater

"This decades-old restaurant that mimics a traditional Mexican hacienda is located in the Heights, but it’s set apart from the hustle and bustle of the area’s more sceney bars and eateries. Its menu boasts classic comfort eats like grilled steak nachos, a variety of meat and cheese enchiladas, and combination fajitas. The dining room is bedecked with rows of colorful flags and features a small nook where fresh tortillas are made, giving diners a festive environment in which to dine, day and night." - Megha McSwain
