$15 for $30 worth of Mexican-American fare and drinks at La Catedral Cafe in Little Village.  Fascinating how the first generation comes here speaking little or no English and the second generation is already working the daily deal sites!

Though Spanish is the predominant language in the kitchen at La Catedral Cafe, under new management since January of 2012, the restaurant’s eclectic cuisine translates to any palate. The menu is rife with American sandwiches, Mexican entrees, and breakfast dishes that fuse the two, but somehow without the use of magnets. It also adapts these flavors to the dietary practices of vegans and vegetarian diners. Ornate rounded tables dot the rustic dining room, where ceiling fans lazily loop above sunbaked decor that evokes a high-end south-of-the-border hot spot.
