Tere's Mexican Grill

Tere's is a place I always think about going, but rarely do. Maybe it's the fact that the parking can be problematic (it's in a small shopping center) or that it closes at 9pm. But, I should stop by more on the weekend because I feel better about giving them my business than Chipotle.


Huevos rancheros with spicy green salsa. Simple, straight forward and a reminder that I need to accept that tomatillos don't do it for me. I like them fine, just not madly in love with 'em.


Handmade flour tortillas! Very good in a gloriously chewy way.

I've eaten here a couple times before: one time was the chorizo empanadas (good, but immense if I recall correctly) and the other was probably a burrito or enchiladas. I've read online that the guacamole is supposed to be good, so need to try it next time. And after trying their tortillas, I'm betting their tacos are splendid.

Note: their windows are very dark, so it may appear to be a place of dubious repute. But, not to worry: once you step in, it's small, but brightly lit with the American and Mexican flags tacked onto the ceiling and other jolly decor!
