"El Mitote makes some of the neighborhood’s best Mexican food, including very good comida corrida, which are fast food platters that come with rice and brothy Guadalajara-style black beans. All of the food comes out on bright-colored trays, so we like to think of this place as a cafeteria for people who have fun and enjoy enchiladas. This spot works for just about any kind of casual meal, but show up on the early side if you don’t want to wait for a table since they don’t accept reservations." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman
