 The fare here is fresh Mexican grill. In other words, there are no preservatives, no MSG and no lard in the beans. The guacamole is made from scratch, and chips are fried in 100 percent canola oil. The meats include boneless skinless chicken breast and lean trimmed steak. Best of all, you don't need a dinner companion to pamper yourself with a reasonably priced Mexican night out. On any given evening, it's not unusual to see lone diners enjoying a char-grilled chicken burrito or a Baja fish taco while reading a magazine. You can wash it down with a Mexican beer for $2.95 or a gringo brand for two bucks. But you know what they say about drinking alone.
