Craving casual Mexican dining? No car? Tortillaria’s got you covered. Just an eight-minute walk from the Central West End MetroLink stop, Tortillaria Mexican Kitchen – with its brightly colored walls, humorous wait staff and music ranging from Katy Perry to the Violent Femmes – welcomes you with open arms and margaritas.

Be sure to go hungry, as unlimited tortilla chips and hefty portions gladly bomb your belly. The starters and sweet strawberry margaritas can be a meal by themselves, so save room. Bowls of fresh guacamole and warm, tangy queso (whether you order it “blanco” or “fundido”) are a must-have, although hot sauce junkies may want to add some extra spice. The Baha Fish Tacos, on the other hand, pack a pleasant punch without extra sauce.

Tortillaria’s hip but non-pretentious atmosphere and student-friendly pricing are worth checking out, whether you’re looking for a relaxing lunch with friends or grabbing drinks before a night out.
