a lil mexican

  Voted the best Mexican restaurant at least twice, this unassuming building uncased in a parking lot of 15 (give or take) gives little away about what lies inside. Hardly a smell escapes that i can catch other than an occasional  customer. Once inside the over the top menu carries a load. So many things to tempt the most routine. The brain tacos were not my cup of tea, but something caught my attention right off the bat. Displayed in a picture suited for the MET, hot and fresh as the beach shrimp fajitas. Holla! 

    A word about Jaritos, if you haven't tried them...DO! Carbonated enough to choke you, make you cry and burn your tongue in one taste, these Mexican sodas are the BOMB. The only thing to cure "way too much hot sauce". Exotic flavors and some your recognise, were purchased to enjoy with our meal. We made our way out side to a less crowded point of view.

    A small concrete patio with interesting concrete table and chairs, a view was being kind, we happen upon Betos right when the whole other side of the street was being remodeled. Also be ware, the pigeons there are far too bold! And too many of them.

    Our food was brought out hot and fresh. (15min.) The shrimp fajitas, glorious. The shrimp still had a crunch to them, and the vegetables were the same. accompanied by beans and rice, and corn tortillas, avocado and a home made hot sauce. The seasoning was on key, light and healthy, hardly any oil. Heaven.  My husband ordered carne asada tacos, cheese casedilla, and a carne asada torta. (forgive my horrible spanish spelling) I could not help it, the animal with in came a calling and i helped myself to a bite of each. And you know what? They all had different flavor. each item stood out on its own, and each one was delicious.  The price was affordable to boot, all that for around $35.
    I have been to Mexico, and Betos food took me right back. A small place with something to say.
