Nasty

by josebove at Citysearch

Do not, under any circumstances, order the "red enchiladas".

I ordered a "half order" of red enchiladas, to go. I went across the street, next to the county jail, to eat my lunch and discovered the following:

runny refried beans

warm rice

UN-melted cheese both inside of and on top of the enchilada

really soggy tortilla

bland sauce

I don't recommend this dish. And really, I can't imagine that anything is really that good here. Good decore.

  • Pros: Good lighting, Nice bartender, Cable TV
  • Cons: Nasty Food

The Crab Enchiladas rock!

by cha_cha_heels at Citysearch

There's nothing better than coming down on a Friday evening and getting a plate of their Crab Enchiladas. Their pork chops are also amazing - tender and juicy. The refried beans and rice are good staples that are consistently dlicious.

The service is always friendly; expect a wait for your check if the place is crowded, though.

  • Pros: crab enchiladas!, great Mexican food, affordable
  • Cons: can get crowded

Fried Chicken & Margaritas

by selston at Citysearch

After 10 years of world travel - nothing on EARTH beats the Fried Chicken & Margaritas at the Rose. Don't look at the menu -> just say Pollo Frito e Margaritas (large pitcher, rocks w/ salt). You'll be back....guaranteed
