In the middle of a hot restaurant row on Washington Avenue, this little fast-food joint serves late-night eaters and the working class with terrific, inexpensive border-style foods. Try the rich and tangy tortilla soup full of shredded rotisserie chicken, corn, avocado, cheese and tortilla strips. While hearty utilitarian Mexican breakfasts are served along with respectable rotisserie chicken, burritos and fajitas, the real treats are the sandwiches. We like the fish torta, served on a soft, dense flatbread called a bolillo. Other fine sandwiches served on French bread are the Cuban topped with ham and marinated pork with cheese, and the Milanesa, filled with thinly sliced, breaded and fried beef layered with avocado, lettuce and tomato.
