While on the way to get my haircut this afternoon, I decided to stop by Zippy's, a place I had noticed on serveral previous trips to the hair stylist and always wanted to try.
Zippy's is just another restaurant in the area playing to the whole "Build Your Own Burrito" fad, but also offers a larger menu then others of its kind. At Zippy's you can create your own burritos, tacos, and more along with a full menu resembling a typical Mexican restaurant.
I ordered the 2 Chicken Tacos Lunch Special for $5.99. It came with two soft tacos, nachos, beans, rice and a drink. On the tacos, I piled lettuce, pico, corn, tomatoes, and salsa. Once I got to the table, I decided to go ahead and throw the beans and rice on there as well.
The tacos were very good and had that great authentic seasoned flavor you look for when eating Mexican. The chicken was very tender and not shredded (which I prefer) and the topping where nicely seasoned and fresh. Combine the food with the prices and you have a winner. Nicely done Zippy's!

Atmosphere
Zippy's has this roadside BBQ fealing to it except with Mexican flair (Arriba!), The place is kind small and cramped because some how they managed to fit about 100 tables in a room that holds 50 it seems. There is also a porch in the front that is tented in. All in all the atmosphere seems different than any other restaurant and the place was clean. Maybe just get rid of a few tables so I can move a little easier.
