"At this longstanding Tex-Mex spot in Northwest, parents sip margaritas and dig into fajitas as kids play with tortilla dough balls and choose from a generous children’s menu. Options include quesadillas and enchiladas; tacos al carbon; and (of course) chicken tenders. All are served with Mexican rice and beans. Dine-in, takeout, and delivery are all available." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
