This is one of three (I think) locations of Taqueria El Lugar. They are a locally owned (I think) and operated chain of little taquerias. They have a pretty good reputation as a traditional mexican restaurant/taqueria.
The spread: They definitely have a focused menu. There are about 10 different versions of tacos or quesadillas that you can get with beef or chicken on flour or corn tortillas. The taco with beef fajita on flour tortilla is my old stand by, but have had 4-5 different combinations. They have a nice selection on bottled drinks to include my favorite "Jarritos" mexican made sodas. You walk in, place an order at the counter and then pick up your grub and bring it back to the table or get it to go.
The verdict: The tacos run about 2 bucks and the quesadillas are around 4 bucks. The meat is flavorful, the tortillas are good (although I don't think they are made in house) and the topping are fresh. The salsas they provide are also very good, ranging from a spicy green to a medium to hot red sauce. My wife is a big fan of the avocado taco. Overall, this is good food at reasonable prices.
Edible Tyler Roses: 4 out of 5, the selection is limited, but the tacos are tasty.
