The most interesting part is the strip club in back
Wednesday, June 29, 2005
I've always thought that this taqueria looked like it would be pretty exciting, but the burritos, and particularly the enchilada sauce, are sadly lacking in taste. In a town that sometimes seems over-crowded with yummy taquerias it's a little hard to believe that one so bland could survive...and not just survive, but make enough money to pay rent in a downtown location. But El Grillo has a secret...it may not be the bland burritos that are paying the bills. If you need to use the restroom while you're here, you better be 21--the only bathroom is through the swinging door to Mary's strip club in back. I'm not sure what the relationship is between the two establishments, but it seems like a good way to get into Mary's without paying a cover, and maybe the strippers explain why El Grillo doesn't need to serve better food to make money.
