Mmm ... Mexican food & margaritas!
I would have to say Mexican food is my favorite, from totally traditional to "nuevo" cuisine. Here are my top picks.

El Nuevo Mexicano -

Report this commentI used to live right by this place and eventually it became my "regular." The X-Rated margaritas are, by far, my favorite. Carne asada tampiquena and the Enchiladas Combinadas are my favorite dishes.

Report this commentThe chipotle cream sauce on the Crepas de Pollo is great, and I love having lunch or dinner--with a margarita, of course--on the sidewalk cafe.

Report this commentThey've got a fantastic tequila selection, and I'm a big fan of the Queso Fundido and Tacos de Cazuela for dinner--it's a huge plate with three kinds of meat and black beans in separate bowls, plus cute tiny blue-corn tortillas so you can make your own tacos.

Report this commentThe margaritas here are top-notch and so is the food. I love ordering a bunch of different smaller things to share since it's all so good I have a hard time deciding on just one dish.
