NOW OPEN: Archie's Restaurant
Open for about three weeks just north of the corner of Eighth and Washington, Archie's (1030 S. Eighth St.) is not a Spanish-speaking hang for Moose and Jughead, but rather a family-owned Mexican restaurant specializing in stacked tortas.
NOW OPEN: Archie's Restaurant
Open for about three weeks just north of the corner of Eighth and Washington, Archie's (1030 S. Eighth St.) is not a Spanish-speaking hang for Moose and Jughead, but rather a family-owned Mexican restaurant specializing in stacked tortas. (Had a great time watching Home Alone en español with the owners' kids while waiting for my food.) Open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., the small takeout/delivery joint (they got a few tables) offers up al pastor, enchiladas con mole poblano and nice-priced entrées (tequila shrimp, filet tampiqueña), but we're most fixated on the sandwich selection, from chorizo-stuffed toluqueña to a "de pierna," crispy thin-sliced pork combo'd with red onion, pickled jalapeño and a smooth swipe of avocado (above). Fin de semana specials include tamales, carnitas and atole, the hot masa-based beverage slightly comparable to egg nog. Here's their full menu (PDF).
