Stellar enchiladas, fajitas, and potent margaritas.
"The exterior of Enchiladas Y Mas might not look like much, but the long line of people waiting outside is the first indicator that through those doors is a lively, always-bustling restaurant with enchiladas, fajitas, and strong margaritas. The inside is about as bare as the outside—don’t expect any theme park level decor—but it’s the food that has given this place a cult-like following of locals. We like to get the cheese enchiladas topped with more cheese and a side of beef fajita meat on top. It’s like a savory crown on an already rich plate, and it makes a hearty enough meal on a Sunday afternoon to soak up even the worst of hangovers." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Enchiladas Y Mas in Crestview is where you go when you partied pretty hard the night before and want to keep the party going, just a little, while also soaking up some of last night’s mistakes. Enchiladas aren’t the only thing on the menu here, but they’re probably what you should be getting at a place with enchiladas in the name. Each order arrives on a massive plate, covered from edge to edge in a blanket of cheese—it’s all but guaranteed to fill you up into the next day. And if you want to find out what the “Mas” in the name is really about, make sure to order a couple (very strong) margaritas." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
"There is one reason to go to this Crestview Tex-Mex restaurant, and it’s in the name: stunning enchiladas of all types, including enchiladas rancheras; enchiladas con queso; and beef, chicken, or vegetarian enchiladas. An order of chile con queso is never out of place on the table; the margaritas, served in a no-frills dining room, will knock you clear into next week. It can get super crowded in this spot for dinner so for those seeking a quick in and out, hit it at lunch." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The exterior of Enchiladas Y Mas doesn’t look like much, but the long line of people waiting outside is the first indicator that through those doors is a lively, always-bustling restaurant with enchiladas, fajitas, and strong margaritas. The inside is about as bare as the outside—other spots like Matt’s El Rancho do a better job of playing into the kitschy side of things—but when you just want stellar Tex-Mex-style enchiladas, you head straight to West Anderson Lane. It’s been around for more than three decades and shows no signs of slowing down soon. " - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Look, we love the margaritas at Enchiladas Y Mas. But we’re also pretty sure they’re made with some kind of grain alcohol that could be used to disinfect wounds. There’s also a limit on how many you can get here—three with food, two without—but despite the potency, they’re surprisingly smooth. " - nicolai mccrary
