» Johnny Mañana's
Combine traditional healthy foods from Mexico and Costa Rica with no-lard cooking and you end up with a tasty combination. Using only the freshest and hightest quality ingredients, from the fresh squeezed limes in the marinade to the grilled fish fillet, everything here is top-notch! Best of all, each order is cooked the moment it is placed. All the food here brings you lower fat, lower cholesterol and lard is never, ever added. Skinless chicken plus lean cuts of beef and fish are used. Add black beans in place of traditional refried beans and you'll have all the flavors and textures of Mexico without any of the associated guilt. The fresh salsa bar allows you to have the precise level of zing to match your taste. The homemade rice is also a cut above...unlike any you're likely to find elsewhere. Make no mistake, if it's Mexican food you're looking for, you won't find a better tasting selection anywhere in the southwest (healthy or otherwise).
