I remember my first trip. Since I had no clue what to order, I decided to follow my girlfriend's lead and got the Number three with refried beans! Over the years my order has changed to suit my mood that day, but a staple to EVERY order is their chips and salsa. They are made to order every time and the chips come out warm and ready to be salted to your liking. It is delicious!

The Picadillo that fills their tacos is a family recipe passed down and is unlike any other. Filled with ground beef, potatoes, and spices their Picadillo tacos are delicious!

One of my favorite meals at Hillside Cafe comes in the Fall and Winter. Their Albondigas soup is the best! The Albondiga's flavorful broth, and the tender meatballs are both hearty and pure comfort food!
