Don't let the strip-mall storefront fool you: Los Bandidos is no low-rent taco shack. Inside there's a mosaic-tile bar where bartenders mix homemade sangria and pour beers into frosted mugs. There are beautifully carved wooden tables where servers mash up fresh guacamole before their guests' eyes. There's even a hand-painted mural that matches the paintings found on the back of each chair.

There's as much to the menu as there is to the ambience, thanks to an extensive selection of Tex-Mex favorites like tacos, enchiladas, and burritos. Popular dishes include shrimp soup, as well as halved pineapples filled with meat and cheese. Though the space is plenty big enough to host large groups for special occasions, guests are also welcome to just grab a seat at the bar and catch a big game or an important cartoon mystery on one of the restaurant's TVs.
