(From February 2012) There’s nothing like good, inexpensive Tex-Mex. Alice herself either cooks or tends tables, and the whole staff seems related (if not by blood, then by time spent together). The menu is nothing fancy, just good taco salads, enchiladas, and an exceptional table salsa. Just don’t expect an amuse-bouche. |

(From June 2011) Famous for its burgers, Alicia’s also does better than most with Tex-Mex. Building blocks like chiles, beans, and tomatoes get seasoned to perfection and turn the chalupas, tacos, and enchiladas into seriously good eats. Check out Jonny’s Omelet, which is actually a huge egg crepe enveloping a scrumptious pile of cheese, peppers, and tomatoes. |

(From September 2010) It may be the dog days of summer, but things still look lush at this golf resort oasis. Even the approach, under a trellised walkway, is breezy and cool, as is the spray from the splashing fountain. We opted to dine inside the glass-walled room and enjoyed a chilled Caesar salad with crisp romaine, crunchy croutons, and tender grilled chicken. Yum. Bar (opens at 4). |

(From August 2011) Tamales for breakfast? Why not; they’re made right here in the kitchen. But do not miss the heavenly chilaquiles—are we clear on that? The eggs are cooked to your specifications, and refried beans frame cut-up tortillas and a red chile sauce that is at once very hot and impossible to stop eating. For something milder, try the huevos rancheros. Lots of tables under the spreading porch roof allow breezes to cool your dripping brow. |
