Interesting they are in the White Marsh Mall's eatery now. I always just skipped it think it was trashy mall food. Must try now.

Have you tired middle of no where PA?

on the mexican note, this place is locally regarded as the most authentic mexican food.

clarksville, md
El Azteca - Fine Mexican Cuisine

i didn't know any better until i took my gf there. when she asked for horchata and was told that they don't have it, she knew they weren't legit. she pointed out several other things throughout the meal. my gf is from sonora, so that's the style she was comparing it to.

all that being said, the food is good, just not authentic mexican. we've never come across an authentic mexican restaurant that didn't serve horchata in addition to other types of agua frescas, and never came across one in hoard county.

the city i live in is 80% latino

I haven't tried the mall location, but the original one is inside a gas station, which makes it feel even more hole-in-the-wall authentic. Let me know if the mall one is good.

Panda, I didn't see if they have horchata. I'm a big apple soda guy, so I always get that of cane sugar Coke with my Mexican food.

My only complaint was that they didn't have their al pastor meat on a spit, but other than that everything was spot on. I met the owner, who is from Mexico city and goes down regularly to shop for spices and chiles they use in the restaurant. You know how some flavors just bring back memories, biting into their tacos took me back to the DF. the Huaraches are good, too.

It'ss generally a boring place here but people do know how to cook! That's why a group of ladies in PA could easily be mistaken for the Eagles' offensive line.

There's a GREAT Amish/Dutch buffet in Lancaster called Good N Plenty.

GREAT food. There's usually about an hour wait and you have to take a number, it's that popular. They have Amish craft shops to look at while you wait so it's not bad.

Good 'N Plenty Restaurant & Bakery Lancaster County, PA

I bet dmek25 knows it.

Another of my local favorites is the Famous Hot Weiner in Hanover, PA. Yeah, yeah, a hot dog shop? A damn good hot dog shop! They've been around about 100 years.
