Almost everything! Food, atmosphere, location, price, abundance of local patrons.
Well, the only food I've tried that I did not like was the grilled fish in a tortilla - dry and tasteless.
“Of course, we love La Paz. It's our 11 year olds favorite restaurant, and everyone else in the family, meat eaters and vegetarians alike, can find food that they love. My teaching team-mate calls this her favorite restaurant, and so does my son's best friend's dad. La Paz seems to be the favorite of lots of people, and here's why:
The food is more authentically Mexican than most American restaurants, it's simple but blends flavorings and ingredients masterfully, and prices are quite low.
We ALWAYS start off with the big bowl of Chile con Queso and chips. You can order tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. a la carte, but my favorite meal is the Chicken Flauta Plate, which includes rice, lettuce, chile sauce and sour cream. I ask for only one flauta, because that's plenty for me, and they charge about 1/2 price, which is amazing! I usually add guacamole as a side. (The flauta is a crisply fried tortilla with shredded chicken and salsa inside. Delicious.) I am also partial to the Tortilla Chicken Soup, which is spicy and delightful. I've even mimicked La Paz's recipe for that at home, with great success.
My youngest son, a picky kid, loves to make his own dinner. He orders 4 warm tortillas ($1.00), pinto beans ($1.00) and sour cream ($1.00). He adds Chile con Queso if we have any left over (and if not, we have to order more!) For his friends who prefer American food, there are hamburgers and french fries.
My husband - the vegetarian - loves the bean and cheese items on the menu, and often finds interesting vegetarian specials on the chalkboard. He also appreciate the Dos Equis (spelling?) and other Mexican beers. Speaking of drinks, my son and I enjoy the frozen strawberry (him) and mango (me) dacquiri sort of things. Others I know speak favorably of the Margarita's.
We're usually too full for dessert, and, honestly, I've never been impressed by the ones I've tried. It might be better to walk down Market Street (or turn on Patrick Street) in a little after dinner jaunt for a sweet treat!
Anyway, this place is well worth visiting!!! (Try to get a window overlooking the creek, but settle for anything!) Enjoy
