12. Ventura's
Authentic Mexican food in a relaxed setting
Great friendly service and server.The snails were great, I prefer a sauce with more garlic.The riggies were probably the best I've had in the area.Great flavor profile in the sauce.The sausage was very good too.I'm saying tomato sauce is fine.The stuffed shells were good.
A hidden gem (at least for me) that I hope to visit again.We were on our way home after a VERY long road trip and we were starving.
