The one in the middle just shows up, but if you ask for something spicier, you get the other two.  The green one is super-hot, but the red one is wonderfully smoky and just right!

A specialty of the house, Puerco en Pipian features boneless chunks of steamed pork in pumpkin seed sauce.  Rice and beans are standard with all lunches and dinners.

One of the specials on the night we visited was Beef Entomatadas:  Chopped beef in a mildly spicy tomato sauce, rolled in homemade flour tortillas, and topped with sour cream.

Check the board for daily specials which don't appear on the regular menu.  There are always a few delightful surprises.

Inside, you'll find comfortable booths and roomy tables.  Prints, pottery, and decorative items from Mexico give a light and airy south-of-the-border atmosphere to the dining area, which once housed a more run-of-the-mill lunch counter.
