This week's favorite Mexican food is La Loma Restaurant on Eastern Boulevard in Clarksville. I've been twice in the last two weeks. The first time was for lunch. I went with this steak fajitas special, and I was quite surprised by the portion of the the meal. Generally, lunch specials are samplers of the real meal. The sizzling steak, peppers, and onions were delicious! The sides of guacamole, green salad, refried beans, and rice were terrific! The fresh, warm corn tortillas totally hit the spot. Note that I took half or so home and ate it for dinner, since I loaded up on the warm chips and spicy salsa before my food arrived. My "extras" were just as tasty as an encore. Oh, and the horchata is spot-on, too!
After spouting off about La Loma to my brother, he decided to go with me and give it a try. Round #2 was the burrito dinner. Two steak burritos with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and tomatilla sauce, alongside the beans and rice. This time, I did not devour the whole basket of tortilla chips and salsa before the food arrived.
If you are looking for a fancy atmosphere, La Loma is not that place. Black and white vintage photos hang on the walls, and the ceiling alcove is painted blue with white stars. There are booths and stand-alone tables with hand-carved/hand-woven seats. If you are looking for authentic Mexican fare, I cannot recommend La Loma enough.
Who wants to go back with me?!
La Loma does not have a website. Their address is 560 Eastern Boulevard, Clarksville. Phone is (812) 283-3775.
