Cafeteria La Progresena Inc

The typical dated small boulevard strip mall. I've learned that's where you find the true authentic restaurants and this is no exception. Situated next to a psychic reader (of course) I originally pulled in because I saw the sign tacos locos but this restaurant was located right next door and I peeked my head inside and saw nothing but authentic Latin atmosphere. When the waitress greeted me with a huge smile and said something in Spanish and I look perplexed she asked me if I spoke Spanish. And when I said no she became even more friendlier. Clearly I was the only Caucasian guy in the restaurant modelo's were abundantly placed in front of all the male patrons and the music was loud. She asked if I needed any assistance with the menu and I said no that one looks good and she said that's the fried pork chop. Would you like rice and beans with that and a salad and some tortillas and I said"yes sounds great" 5 minutes later the plate of food came out and it was amazing there was even an extra bonus section of fried pork chop on my plate The salad was simple the rice and beans were done to perfection and the tortillas came in a quantity of five which was one more than I could possibly eat. I will definitely be back and if I was to recommend this to anybody I would say do not pass go do not collect $200 get there immediately you will not be disappointed. When I go back hopefully the psychic reader will be open 😆

I will be honest in the fact that I thought this was a Mexican restaurant when entering. I was thrown off by the menu but the lady was so great about it explaining what the different items were. The customer service was fantastic. We ordered the grilled shrimp and the kids got the baleadas. Everything was very yummy and the prices were fair for the amount of food that you get.
