In Montrose, farther from the apartment than other Tex Mex restaurants, but one of our favorites. They are in an old movie theater and they project western movies and TV shows on the back wall.

Next to a Half Price Book Store, and down the street from the Anvil Bar if you want to make an evening of it.
