In Short – The atmosphere is low-key, but baseball games on the TV above the bar and blaring salsa and merengue on the jukebox provide constant lively entertainment. Enchiladas, tacos and burritos come piled with cheese and guacamole and are accompanied by huge sides of rice and beans. The restaurant also offers more exotic fare, such as cow paws soup, octopus salad, oxtail stew, lobster in hot sauce and more. They'll even make you a cheeseburger.

neighborhood place

by Mlozada

ENA is the quinteseesntial 'divey' neighborhood restaurant. The service is average, the ambiance is laid back but it a great place for Comfort Mexcian/Caribbean food (if such a thing exists). The food is very tasty, portions generous and the prices great. Highly recommended if you want yto have a meal and no Hoopla.

  • Pros: inexpensive, portions
  • Cons: avg/slow service

The BEST Frozen Margaritas

by wombatchild

Great food but the service was dreadful! the two waitress's looked like they had been sucking on lemons. The service was dreadfully slow (the place was only half full) and a smile would have been nice...

But the food and drink when it came was fantastic, huge protions and a even better price.

I would highly recommend it if you don't mind your food behind slamed in front of you and you are not in rush.

  • Pros: margaritas, Value, portions
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

wonderful place to relax

by sec3834

I used to live nearby and ate here at least twice a week. The food is tasty and the margaritas are the BEST in the city. You would never know it from the decor. And if you're looking to get drunk quickly... 1 frozen drink from their machine is all it takes.

  • Pros: frozen margharitas, food/staff/price
  • Cons: , decor
