Nestled in a strip center close to a 7-Eleven where day laborers vie for jobs, the Alamo blends well with the local rhythm.

I was disappointed. I went there for lunch after many years of driving by it. I figured that because it is in an area where there are many hispanic enterprises, it must be at least OK. I was wrong. The lunch fajitas were served with onions and bell peppers and what seemed like canned stewed tomatoes. The beef was sliced too thinly and was devoid of any seasoning. There were no rice or beans served on the side. The tacos were also very bland but at least the lettuce was fresh. It just didn't taste like mexican food. I will never go there again.
This place is a gem. I first went there about 20 years ago and it is still great, authentic Mexican food. Try the shredded beef in your taco or chimichanga. It is flavorful without being too hot. Great customer service too.
The enchiladas here and the rest of the menu remind me of my mother's cooking -- in San Antonio, Tx, when I was in first grade. Actually, they remind me of the nuns' cooking in school and of the food in the restaurants where my folks took me. Great food, great place, since at least 1064, when I started going. Same menu, even.
