Testal Mexican Kitchen
Chihuahuan Mexican
A small counter-service spot on Grand Avenue where Chihuahuan cooking gets intense and soulful, Testal makes unusual burritos that arrive open at both ends like overstuffed rolled tacos—small enough that you'll want two, big enough to justify trying the bright birria and the creamy rajas with their crisp poblano slices. The burritos are the essential order, though bowls, tacos, and breakfast round out a menu built on flavors that linger.
