While out working one day, I stumbled upon a tiny eatery called Deli Mex Mexican Restaurant & Juice Bar. Initially hesitant to go in, I checked their Yelp reviews and saw they had quite a few, piquing my curiosity. Walking through the front door, the first thing I noticed was how clean the restaurant was. It took a minute, but someone finally greeted us.
They weren't serving everything on the menu since it was before 11 o'clock, so keep in mind that if you want the full menu, you'll need to wait until after 11 a.m. They gave me some excuse about the kitchen not being prepped, which was frustrating because I wanted something they weren't offering yet.
