El Borracho is an interesting take on a "taqueria" and a "cantina" with not much of either going on. Don't get me wrong: we were looking for something very basic and cheap, and El Borracho delivered. They have very few items on their menu: tacos (Gringo aka Tim style and Pancho aka my style); burritos, and quesadillas. The salsa and chips are complimentary (pretty good) and the rice and beans are meant to be ordered ala cart. At the grandparent tim we arrived, happy hour was still going on with three dollar sangria (strong) and four dollar margaritas (stronger).
The Pancho "carnitas" taco came in the style of al pastor with lots of cilantro and red onions. The Mexican rice was spicy and the refried beans tasted smoky-or should I say, loaded with bacon fat. Yum. Tim's tacos looked only fair as they were made with flour tortillas-a big no-no in my book- but it did say "Gringo" style and frankly, Tim is probably tired of eating only corn tortillas at home.
Will we go back? Probably not. The quest for the perfect Mexican restaurant continues...
