El Norteño
9.3 • Mexican restaurant
Old building with a no-frills setup and a small ordering counter creates a simple, cash-only experience. Outdoor seating faces a busy intersection, making it noisy, while the atmosphere stays quiet and family-oriented. Large menu and colorful mural add character to the otherwise modest space.
