Popular for Sunday brunch, this cantina proves good Tex-Mex doesn't need to be served at a hole-in-wall restaurant.

The Scene
Clean, with shiny tile floors and tablecloths, Salsalitos isn't the type of place most locals would go to for a Tex-Mex fix. But the menu offers dishes like enchiladas served with various sauces, chili relleno stuffed with smoked chicken and flautas. The bar is the place to wait for your table when it gets crowded.

The Food
The Botana is a popular dish to share with others as an appetizer or for one person to have as an entree. It comes with chicken quesadillas, nachos topped with either chicken or beef fajitas, flautas, guacamole and queso. Order a margarita, frozen or on the rocks, or try a michelada, a popular border-town drink made with beer, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lime juice.
