I recently got a chance to eat at Por Que No with my friend Sierra. I have been wanting to eat here for a while, as it is a very popular establishment on Hawthorne St. However, every time I've been in the vicinity, it's been in the evening or on a weekend, or both, and the place was packed. I went on a weekday at lunchtime, so it wasn't as busy. Por Que No has a huge variety of tacos and then various other Mexican dishes. I would say their tacos are the most popular item. They average 3 bucks a piece, and I would suggest choosing 3 of them for a fulfilling meal meal, packed with a variety of flavors. They also have a great selection of alcohol and non-alcohol beverages, but we both stuck with water (it's a more wallet friendly option). Its a casual restaurant, where one grabs a menu upon entering and gets in line to order, and finds a place to sit with a number while waiting for food to be brought out. They have a really great outdoor patio, but it was too windy and chilly on the day that we went, so we stayed inside. The food was excellent (we each got 3 different tacos), but I would have like to left feeling a little more full. (authentic taquerias and taco trucks charge about half the price for tacos, although you wont find as much variety, or as high of quality of ingredients).
¿Por Que No? - the Mexican restaurant with no Mexican or Mexican-American employees!
ReplyDeleteyes, BUT, the guy in the picture with the black hat and black leather jacket had a strange late 80's southwestern feel...like he maybe lived in new mexico and crossed the border as a wayward traveler every now and then.
