Tomasita's

Upon entering the establishment, there is a noticeable sign indicating:

A MESSAGE TO OUR GUESTS
Residents and frequent visitors have come to love the spice of our cuisine and depend on their chile 'fix.' At Tomasita's, chile is a main ingredient of our dishes and we serve it HOT. If you are new to the taste, please ask for a sample of our chile before ordering so that we may serve you better.

Now, being the capsaicin junky that I am, I took that as a challenge. By the crowded waiting room, it seemed like many others had the same thought. The place was packed to the gills for lunch. We had a 30 minute wait, but we took our place on the bench and waited since the food here was exhaulted by several people.

In one word. Delicious. Not being able to choose between the multiple dishes, I chose the Super Combination Plate which included an enchilada, a tamale, a chile relleno, a taco served Christmas style and rice and beans to boot. Sopapillas were also served with the meal, though I didn't really have much room after the hefty portions of food on my plate. Everything was fantastic. Though I was disappointed with the supposed heat of the food. Maybe I got a tame batch, but it didn't seem that spicy to me at all. Actually, I found it to be relatively mild on the Scoville scale. Regardless, the food was amazing and I would have no problem recommending this place to anybody.
