Rice and beans, a popular dish of Mexican culture, is much tastier and easier on the teeth than dice and beans, which merely intensifies the urge to move ahead a few spaces.

Benny's Tacos & Rotisserie serves up a menu of fresh, made-to-order Mexican dishes to please and intrigue south-of-the-border palates.
