House of Enchiladas

Stopped by HoE for a late lunch. It’s located in 2 storefronts in a small strip mall, in a neighborhood filled with a good number of Hispanic markets, along with a cool meat shop next door. All good signs for good Mexican eats in my book. The exterior doesn’t wow you, but the interior is neat, simple and very clean. The service from the moment I stepped inside to the time I left was very prompt and attentive.
A quick look at the menu reveals the good folks here offer up a big choice of 14 different enchiladas, a wide selection of the standard Tex-​Mex fare offered in most Americanized Mexican restaurants, as well as 4 other interesting entrees: tequila-​marinated shrimp, seasoned shrimp, carne asada, and grilled chicken in chipotle sauce.
I only had time for a quick basic lunch, so I ordered the chicken enchiladas in red sauce lunch combo. A basket of fresh/​crisp tortilla chips and very tasty salsa quickly landed on the table, along with an ice cold Tecate along with a frosted mug… a nice touch, which scored good points from me. The enchiladas quickly followed, which were quite good. The beans were cooked and seasoned well, but the rice was just a bit dry for my taste. No problem though, as I heaped the great salsa on just about every bite on the plate. I asked for a second basket of chips & salsa, and it quickly arrived along with my next Tecate and fresh iced mug. Rockin’ service from these folks as the Tecate was a perfect cooling match finishing off the the last warm flavors on the plate.
HoE seems like a great place to visit for those interested in standard Mexican fare. I hope to get back soon to try some more interesting dishes on the menu. And again, the service was just outstanding for a basic place like this.
And don’t miss the «Specials» page on their website. All-​you-​can-​eat tacos on Wednesdays, 2 for 1 drinks on Saturday, and 3 different coupons for various meal discounts. HoE was a good value at regular prices, but when you can get $ 5 off your meal, or one of the Buy One, Get Second at Half
Price meals, the value would be excellent.
