"In the shell of what was probably a Japanese restaurant in a former life right next to the I-35 upper deck, Hornitos is no-frills Tex-Mex at its best. The enchiladas come in just about every variety—including a sampler version if you can’t decide between the ultra-classic ranchero, tangy chicken verde, or a more savory chile con carne—and the fajitas come out on a skillet hotter than the Austin summer sun. And even though their location by an underpass on an I-35 frontage road might not sound ideal, it makes for a really convenient stop on the way home from work. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
