Lot’s of TV’s for sporting events. El GALLILO: This excellent gourmet pizza joint is actually in San Francisco (San Pancho) but it was so good we had to include it.

They are fried right in front of you and are excellent. I don't know of anyone who has ever gotten sick from eating them, but trust your own judgment. They are made from chicken, pork or beef. They are very, very good, and you can buy beer from the liquor store, sit on the street or at the sidewalk tables and have on of the best and cheapest meals of your life. TAMALE LADY: Some of the best tamales can be found wandering the town in the basket of a local Mexican woman. She works during the day making delicious carne, pollo, y chile con queso tamales and then walks her way around the village until she sells out. Her house is on the river just inland from the bridge. TERRAZOLA: This place is cute, has great food, and genuinely nice workers. Wendy and Onton are the sweetest people and they really know their recipies. They have taken over this little Trailer Park snack stand and given it character and class. Serving lunch and dinner with excellent fish, burgers, tacos, and many other specialties. |
