Rincon Tapatio

Colorful decorations greet those who opt for this Mexican restaurant over the Zip's across the street in Hillyard. You made the right choice. Here you got sombreros hanging from the ceiling, a saddle on the wall and overexposed pictures by the door. And you got chips and salsa as soon as you sit down, beer in the fridge and a menu that's as Mexican as Tijuana. Its categories include “eggs,” “vegetarian” and “American," and the restaurant presents its entrees on hubcap-sized platters with bowl-like rims, so your rice, lettuce and beans don’t fall overboard when you’re shoveling.
