A simple, clean Mexican Restaurant. Simple menu. Good food. My husband enjoys the lengua (tongue in red sauce). I really like their Chile Verde (pork in green sauce). Great rice, beans and thin tortillas so you enjoy the food without all the masa. I typically call and pick up on way home from work.

I went to El Nayarit #2 on Hewitt Ave. The ladies there are not nice. I walked in when the restaurant was empty. Since the ladies where there standing doing nothing they did not acknowledge me when I walked in. I asked if I may sit anywhere or if I needed to be seated. I viewed the menu. I ordered the special of the day which cost $12.70. A few minutes later some other patrons walked in. The ladies serve them first and left me for last. I asked for a glass of water and the first lady ignored me. Eventually, the other lady came over and asked if I wanted a drink. I asked for a glass of water. She walks away to serve others then returns to tell me that they only have bottles of water. I asked for a cup like the one she gave someone else and she refused. When it was time to pay she charged me

This restaurant warms my heart. It feels like having a meal in your Tia's home. The service is always warm and friendly. And the musicians popping in on occasion is the icing on top. Their voices 😍. Can't wait to go back.
