Free chips and salsa are always served during happy hour at Juan in a Million, and you can get happy hour specials on game days as well. Though this place is only open for half the day, it's a great place to go have breakfast with friends. Very popular with the young crowd, you might have to wait a little before being seated. The restaurant serves great Tex-Mex food, and is famous for its huge and cheap burritos. They even have a contest, which was featured on the Travel Channel's Man vs. Food, that challenges you to eat as many of their famous huge burritos as you can.
With art-deco charm well in place, the wooden interiors and comfy booths make Truluck's extremely inviting. Given Truluck's 'commitment to crabs', no one doubts the restaurant's long standing relationship with seafood. The tiger shrimp, Brazilian pacu fish and virtually all of the appetizers come in large portions. To narrow down the array of entrées, pick from the salmon and flounder. Truluck's also serves steaks and chops but if you're at a place known for its seafood, why crawl back to land??
Step inside this hacienda-style restaurant and find yourself whisked south of the border by the Mexican interior, where fine food is served in a charming colonial atmosphere. Chef Roberto Sabatinez has added his own creative dishes to the menu of old favorites, including a wonderfully imaginative chile relleno that employs an ancho chile rather than the usual poblano. Traditional dishes are well prepared and the desserts go beyond the flan usually offered at many Mexican restaurants. Brunch is not to be missed; especially for those who love the Mexican custom of making the late morning meal a long, leisurely affair.
