Marix Tex Mex Cafe Description:
Entree options range from typical Mexican fare (tostadas, enchiladas, tacos, burritos) to "Tex"-inspired jalapeno-spiced meat dishes served with hefty portions of garlic mashed potatoes.
This trendy cantina is always packed to the gills. Count on a party atmosphere and a long wait for a table. The food is informal, low-priced and tasty. Start with fresh jalapeño-infused guacamole, either on its own or atop a heaping plate of nachos rancheros. Sizzling San Antonio-style fajitas are made with beef, chicken or shrimp. Tacos are popular, best filled with ancho-braised brisket. There are also hearty renditions of Tex-Mex classics like cheese-filled chiles rellenos and crab meat enchiladas layered with chile Colorado. Taco Tuesdays are especially packed, no surprise when the charge is just $7.95 for unlimited beef, chicken, carnitas and veggie tacos. To drink, there are strong margaritas and Mexican beers. For dessert, consider homemade vanilla flan or sizzling apple pie with hot brandy sauce. Also located at 118 Entrada Dr., Santa Monica, 310-459-8596.
