Also, I have no idea how Julio's Barrio has lasted that long there ... but there it is. Faux-mexicana'ing it up.

If you're ever down in the south, there's still a Broken Plate open in Willowpark, just next to Southcentre. Worked there for years, and it was always the best quality of any of the BP's. And yes, they still have the lamb shank (kleftiko). Delicious.
