Editorial Review for Little Tijuana Restaurant – by Annamarie Cumpston

In Short
A legendary nocturnal spot, this cantina is equipped for an alternative late-night crowd: old carpet, duct-taped pleather booths and loud punk music. Servers with hot-pink hair and body jewelry aren't afraid to enforce the many rules--no refills, no substitutions, one-hour limit on tables and a minimum for tabs. The menu covers all basics of Americanized Mexican fare: generous portion of chicken enchiladas smothered in not-too-spicy tomato sauce and taco dinners that allow for leftovers.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Little T's is a good place to get a late night bite to eat. The nacho's supreme is huge and is good to share with someone. They have the most intense jalapeno's I've ever experienced so take those with stride if you're a jalapeno wimp like me. Good service, good tunes, but give the servers a break and don't show up 5 minutes before they close.

Pros: Good eats for drunken nights.

Cons: Gets pretty packed on Saturdays, but where doesn't?

As a young man in the 80s, I used to go here a couple times a month and always enjoyed the food, service etc. It was a near perfect end of the night hangout with OK food and decent (if maybe a little too cool for school) help. I have a lot of good memories of this place. I go back every couple years now and have not had a good experience in the last 4 or 5 visits. Generally bad/poorly prepared food with snotty unhelpful service. I think I'm done with this joint.

Pros: I like the look of the place.

Cons: Everything else.
