Fountain Cafe At Holiday Inn

When driving the 10 freeway, you 'll find a row of restaurants called Restaurant Row. You 'll recognize many of the names, chances are Mariposa Inn will NOT be one of them. 1. The menu. In thirty years eating at the Mariposa, the menu hasn 't changed, for one good reason. It never had to! Unlike the other big chain restaurants which are looking for the next greatest thing in cooking, the staff at the Mariposa Inn is kicking back, focusing their energy on good cooking, not fixing the maquina that doesn 't need to be fixed in the 1st place. 2. The combos. In the middle of said Mariposa Inn menu, you 'll find the tried and true combos. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, chili rellenos, tamales. You want it, it 's there w/ rice beans. Whether u get that or something else on the menu, it 's served up quick. In the meantime, you get chips that are warm salty, the best tasting salsa I 've had in any Mexican restaurant. 3. The atmosphere. If u eat there during the daytime, the daylight lights up the front of the restaurant nicely, but if you want a truly remarkable dining experience, try the Mariposa Inn at night. It won 't be as well lit as other places, but it will be lit up just enough for you to feel like you 've really found a unique place to eat. The tables, chairs, booths have an older architectural feel to them, when you look up at the old style iron chandeliers, you 'll definitely feel like you went back in time a bit.
