The BEST green chili in town! Get a smothered burrito or a daily special! You will not be disappointed. This hole-in-the-wall restaurant is family-owned, so their hours vary and it's hard to find a seat. Plan to take it to go, and then if you get lucky you'll be able to snag a place in the tiny building, which you will probably share with another family. Line is usually out the door!
