Mikasa Restaurant

Local Mexican restaurant with self-service salsa bar and great wet burritos. Located right on Valley, this has been a long-standing spot for me to come to whenever I want a deluxe burrito with green enchilada sauce. The burritos are big and reasonably priced. They have rice and beans inside, and you have your choice of meat (ie carne asada, machacha, carnitas, etc). There are some vegetarian options as well, since they do have chile relleno. I noticed quite a few people get the seafood, and they have fried fish plates. If you eat in, you can help yourself to the chips and salsa bar. The chipotle salsa (mild spice) has a deep, smokey flavor and is unique to most other salsas you’d usually see, while the hot tomato salsa gives a nice heat. The pico de gallo is also a good option, and is mild. They have alcohol, and they do take credit card ($7 minimum). Bathrooms are available in the hallway by the salsa bar, and there’s no free WiFi. They have a parking lot in the front and usually spots are open - if not, then it’s usually a short wait for someone to pull out.
