"On a sunny Sunday, you’ll most likely find us at Mi Madre’s during brunch on the patio double-fisting a couple of their enormous breakfast tacos. While they clock in around $4 or $5 each, two are more than enough (unless you just finished running a marathon, then OK maybe get three). The menu has 18 pre-set breakfast tacos, and our favorites are the #9 with homemade machacado and eggs (add cheese) and the #4 with black bean, egg, and cheese (add avocado). A couple of warnings: 1. The grackles on the patio are very hungry and want your leftovers, and 2. The tortilla chips are delicious and you will have to exercise restraint to not fill up on them before your tacos arrive. What to get: Machacado and egg; Black bean, egg, and cheese; Carne guisada." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"A Tex-Mex staple that’s been around since 1990, Mi Madre’s is not a fancy spot by any means, as the whole building kind of feels like it’s being held together by some duct tape and string lights. But there are two air-conditioned dining rooms and a small, comfortable patio populated by some hungry grackles who have very good taste. While Mi Madre’s is open for lunch and dinner, our favorite time to go is during brunch hours for the enormous breakfast tacos or breakfast plates like huevos rancheros and migas." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Open for 35 years, this Tex-Mex restaurant is a Cherrywood classic. Spice lovers should choose the house-made machacado with pico and eggs to shake up their breakfast taco routine. The cute indoor dining room is sprinkled with Mexican knick-knacks like figurines and lotería cards, and the outdoor patio has a good view of the bustle of Manor Road. There’s also online to-go orders if you’re in a hurry." - Erin Russell
"The Cherrywood restaurant is a pillar for Tex-Mex in the neighborhood, offering massive burritos, sizzling chicken or steak fajitas, and perfect crispy tacos with picadillo. If that sounds good, any and all of it can also be ordered online. The cantina decor inside and on the multiple colorful outdoor patios, however, are half the reason to come here." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Cherrywood Tex-Mex restaurant’s queso is another classic spiced one, with all sort of optional mix-ins from sour creams to meats like stewed chicken and beef fajitas. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
