About Gonzalez Tex Mex Restaurant & Mexican Restaurant

#10 Gonzalez Tex Mex Restaurant

Don't let this little family-owned restaurant's to-go window and computerized cash register fool you. This is currently the best Tex Mex in town, beating out a host of competitors. This is the only cabrito we've ever been happy with (Mariano's Cabrito Cafe has a dismal version), and the mainline Tex Mex dishes are consistently good. Given a choice of this place and Raphael's, for instance, we'd take Gonzalez. Reason: Both have Tex Mex but, Gonzalez is still trying to build its reputation rather than resting on it; consequently, you get quick service and good prices. We recommend the nachos, tacos al carbon and the chile rellenos. And, of course, the frijoles are excellent. One of the beauties of this place is that it is open for breakfast (7 a.m), and a drive through egg and bacon burrito or chorizo and egg burrito makes and excellent alternative to the infamous Egg McMufin. Expect a Mexican style atmosphere when dining in Gonzalez Restaurant!

Gonzalez Restaurant

A festive as a piñata, strung with chile-shaped lights, tin beer signs, and real piñatas and nooks cleverly set off by walls made to look weathered, and then painted primary colors. The best breakfast burritos in town: thick, handmade flour tortillas as fragrant as naan bread, cupping ingredients like beans, cheese, potatoes, eggs and chorizo. Toss in some pico de gallo and you have a great way to start your day!
