It might seem logical to think that the best and most authentic Mexican food would be found in the most obscure, hole-in-the-wall places, but this would be wrong in the case of Alice the Burrito Lady. It is definitely obscure--I did not even notice it until I passed by after dark and saw the "open" sign. The name of the restaurant is not even apparent until you enter inside. Moreover it is not really a restaurant--it is a take-out burrito place with a few seats for dine-in. Most of the burritos are made with various types of beef--not something I order very often. I wanted to try the chicken mole burrito, but they did not have any. Ditto with the pollo a la Mexicana. I tried a Green Chile with Cheese Burrito--it had good chile and excellent cheese, with rice added, but I thought it was too spicy to make a good meal. It was also very greasy. The Chile Relleno was so greasy it made an impression on me as possibly being the greasiest one I had ever eaten (and this includes quite a few in Ciudad Juarez). Overall I was pretty disappointed. It is like a lot of "street food" in Mexico, but not the kind I really want to eat.
