Mexican Radio

Colorfully painted walls, traditional paper flags and glowing candelabras strike a festive chord at this South of the Border eatery. Perhaps more Cal than Mex, buttery Muenster cheese and bright-red guajillo pepper sauce punch up unconventional nachos, citrus-marinated carnitas is fall-apart tender, and deep-fried tortillas (a.k.a. Radio Roll-Ups) with roasted veggies are uniformly overstuffed—you may toddle out feeling the same way.
