La Especial Norte is an iconic restaurant with eclectic Mexican decor. Despite a recent price increase, the food is almost always excellent. The parrilla and tortilla soup are recommended, but avoid going late towards closing as some dishes might not be up to par. The guacamole, chips, and salsa stand out as particularly enjoyable. Overall, it's a decent spot with reasonable prices, just be cautious with timing and menu choices.
