ImttemaMoinisil cmstoe limited ttaiwptils The once-sleepy town of Chapel Hill is growing at a staggering pace, with the usual afternoon traffic snarls a testimony to its occasional failure to keep up with itself. Another area in which Chapel Hill has lagged in its growth is nearer to the stomach . namely, in ethnic 1 restaurants. Mexican and 'Chinese VlL - t J- Mi fU V": restaurants can be found on Franklin Street, but for the most part close-to-campus pickings remain sparse for students with a craving for interna tional tastes. - Papagayos, located in NCNB Plaza on Franklin Street, offers typical Mexican fare including appet izers such as nachos and Mexican pizza and entrees such as burritos, chimichangas, enchiladas and tacos. Diners can choose to eat on the colorfully decorated outside patio, which offers live entertainment at night, or inside, where the atmos phere is more intimate. There's also an attractive bar for the . legal drinkers. The one drawback is the cost Papagayos is a bit expensive for the penny pinching college student. Appetizers run from S3 to $5, while entrees are S7 to J8. -: '.The service is friendly and prompt The food itself is delicious, but may ' be a touch spicy. A slightly less expensive Mexican restaurant is Tijuana Fcts, at 403 W. Rosemary St. From nachos , and guacamole . salad to burritos and excellent refried beans; almost' any type of Mexican meat, including vegetarian dishes, can be found. The prices are reasonable for the large portions, averaging from $5 to $8 for a typical dinner of an appetizer or salad, entree and beverage. Newly redecorated, Tijuana Fats is not the place for an intimate date, but its atmosphere is conducive to a leisurely gathering of friends who" like Mexican food. One excellent Mexican restaurant that is a bit outside of the main bustle of campus is Majdilena's, located at 508 W. Franklin St. The tasteful decor, which is dimly illuminated by candlelight, promotes a leisurely dining pace and lends the inexpensive restaurant a pricier feel. Magdalena's menu is extensive, including all of the usual Mexican favorites, and daily specials are posted on a blackboard. The most highly recommended entree is the . taco salad, a plentiful mixture V Tijuana Fats on West Rosemary Street MARIO'S IS STILL COOKING HOMEMADE ITALIAN DINNERS Lasagna Manicotti Spaghetti Ravioli Fine Wines All ABC Permits Reservations Accepted Take Out Available ITALIAN RESTAURANT Rrt , - 11:30-10KK)Mon.-Thurs. - Elliott Rd. 15-S01 11 30-1 0-30 Fri.-Sat " r ' c rrr Two doors down In-OOStm; FamOUS Since 1965 from Harris Teeter "Your Source for quality furnishings at affordable prices" Ram's Plaza 967-7060 15-501 By Pass, Chapel Hill M-F 10am-8pm Sat 10am-6pm including chicken, beans, cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato and sour cream' in an edible taco shell.
