"A Tex-Mex staple that’s been around since 1990, Mi Madre’s is not fancy by any means. The whole building kind of feels like it’s being held together by duct tape and string lights. But there are two air-conditioned dining rooms and a small, comfortable patio where you can watch people struggle to parallel park at Este next door. It’s open for lunch and dinner, but our favorite time to go is during brunch for the enormous breakfast tacos or plates like huevos rancheros and migas." - nicolai mccrary
