In Short
Pick up a bag of homemade blue corn chips and a side of chunky, oniony guacamole. Get burritos with refried beans and veggies, and chili con carne, or try the burrito of the day, which can include a rich red chicken mole that offers a post-swallow kick, or tender beef barbecue in a tomato tortilla. Tortas, flat flour tortillas layered with cheese, offer inventive combinations such as cinnamon-topped sweet potato and red bell pepper.

Jury duty comes but once in a blue moon... I squandered my lunch money at 12th street cantina in the Reading Terminal Market. I ordered a "grilled chicken burrito platter", what I got was a bunch of stewed chicken a bit of pepper, lots of oil, and black beans and cheese. And the platter part was some tasteless rice and more beans. The Salsa tasted like ketchup. Next time I won't be wasting my time there, might just go to china town.

Great quick lunch spot- everything is good and fresh The buritto platter- comes with a salad and beans or rice. The beans are very thick- not very creamy- but you can mix in some of the ample sour cre@m they provide. The jalapenos are good too- a little too vinegary- but still good. If you are in the area- and in the mood for some mexican- this is the place to go.

I was at the Convention Center and needed something quick. I really enjoyed my meal and I got a lot of it for the price.
