I have almost mentioned Pancho Villa before, but have held back because I think their quality has suffered over the last few years, an opinion shared by others in my family (I grew up about half a mile away, so we've eaten there a fair amount over the years). Just our opinion, of course. On the bright side, this is definitely not your Chi-Chi's/El Torito genre Tex-Mex restaurant, although they have some of that. They have about 6 or 7 dishes in each of the seafood, chicken, and beef categories, and an a la carte section. On weekends, they have some atmosphere, with a strolling guitarist. I'd go there again, but I don't seek it out as much as I once did. One last note - I've always thought their Tortilla Soup is great! A hearty soup (hmm, sounds like a Campbell's commercial) with good vegetables, and it is pretty spicy - if it isn't spicy enough for you, just take a nip off of the hot pepper that you'll find in every bowl.
