Definitely the best authentic Mexican food I’ve had in a while! Located right off Elizabeth St. in Downtown Brownsville, within walking distance to US/Mexico bridge. Family-owned and operated. Service is good, but food takes a while (only one cook in the kitchen), but DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT. Menudo is awesome! Even the small portion was enough to fill me. Ordered the Mexican plate, which consists of 2 tacos, 2 enchiladas, 1 tostada, beans & rice for about $6. Large portions and very reasonable prices. Everything had a distinct blend of spices and so full of flavor. Carne deshebrada definitely has a spice kick to it!

Sol Azteca Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 328 Montgomery St, Jersey City

Wow! We were not expecting our delivery to be not only so fast but delicious. The carnitas tacos, chicken enchiladas, beef tostada’s, fluatas and side of steak….yes! Side of steak! Were all some of the best traditional Mexican food I’ve had since New Mexico. So glad we found this place. It’s our new go to Mexican restaurant. Try the carnitas (fried pork) tacos or the enchiladas. Don’t forget to get the side of steak!

Chihuahua Charlies Cantina Menu with Prices 5835 Interstate 20 W, Arlington

Ok-so I’ve been there twice in one month now…and both times service, although GREAT, is just a little slow. The tables are dirty and it seems like they are understaffed…that being said, however…their food is YUMMY!! Let me just say that green salsa is DA BOMB! But NOT for the faint of heart!! It’s spicy, but the flavor ir amazing! The chips and thin and just the perfect amount of salt. The red salsa isn’t bad either, I just really prefer the green. First time I had the fajitas. Not bad! Not the best I e had, but definitely not the worst! They were moist and tender and flavored well. I can’t speak for the rice and beans personally, because I don’t eat rice and beans-but my friends that had them said they were delicious! My other friends had the poblano enchiladas, the chicken bowl, and the flautas. My friend raves about their Elote. I also don’t eat corn, but it looked delicious! The second time we went, I had their menudo. Definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the food, the history of the restaurant and was super attentive. My 4 yo son had their queso (that’s his staple at all Mexican Restaurants) and their cheese enchiladas with the beans (no rice)…he LICKED the plate, so two thumbs up from the 4 yo. My husband had the poblano enchiladas with beans and corn, also licked the plate! Needless to say we will definitely be back!!

Mimi’s Restaurant Menu with Prices 1400 Ross St, Amarillo

I’ll say from the onset, I’m a gringo…but I love Mexican food a lot. Stumbled upon this place the other night and we were the only ones in the place. Ordering is a bit of a challenge as the menu is all in Spanish with no descriptions or prices. (I figured the prices were pretty cheap, which they were.) We wound up getting beef tacos (crispy shells not available), horchata (think of a long, oval tostada) and cheese enchiladas. My wife said the enchiladas were VERY good. The horchata was BIG and pretty tasty. The “steak” in the tacos was quite bland. There’s a huge selection of traditional Mexican drinks and several popular beers – Mexican and domestic. They don’t have guacamole or the typical “salsa”…just a very spicy green tomatillo dipping sauce. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They’ve been in business for 11 years, so they’re doing something right. There’s also an odd collection of Mexican gifts to be purchased. Overall, it was an interesting dining experience, but I’ll probably not go back. It’s just a bit to “authentic” for my tastes.

Mariscos Acapulco – Menu with Prices – 3301 Singleton Blvd, Dallas

Finally authentic Mexican food in Dallas, with corn tortilla soft tacos, served with cilantro, onions, and fresh lime. I had the El Pastor taco plate. The meat was very flavorful, tender, and had a little kick. The fajita meat tacos were perfect. Rice and beans were good. Loved the fresh chips and salsa. Don’t let the outside fool you, it is the best Mexican food I’ve ever had in Dallas.

El Pirata Seafood and Grill – Menu with Prices – 1241 W Memory Ln, Santa Ana

This became my go-to place for Mexican food for a little while! The food was delicious. The service was great. The price was reasonable for the quality and quantity of the entrees. However, the restaurant recently changed ownership and went downhill ever since. I used to order the carne asada plate. The meat was well-seasoned and proportionate to the pricing. They were generous with the rice and beans. The chips and salsa were perfect. The pick de Gallo and guacamole were on point. I would leave incredibly satisfied. The last time I went, I ordered the carne asada plate as usual. The meat was tasteless, rubbery, and the portion was skimpy to say the least. The rice and beans portion sizes were not even adequate for a kid’s meal. I felt robbed. Additionally, the waitress was overworked as she was apparently the only one on duty and completely ignored us for the second half of our meal. When she finally brought us another basket of chips 15 minutes after we asked for them, she just walked by and dropped the chips on the table without saying a word or asking how everything was going. I used to love this place, but unfortunately, it’s not the same restaurant anymore. Sad.

Taqueria La Central Mexican Grill – Menu with Prices – 806 E Baseline St, San Bernardino

We have been driving by this place forever ever! It is on the corner all by it’s self small and looks a little lonely. It has dine in take out and a drive-thru. We finally decided to stop in a give them a try. We were greeted with a smile and promptly seated with our menus. They make all of your regular mexican food. Like burritos, enchiladas, tortas, hard shell tacos, soft street tacos, sopes, gorditas, rice, and beans. They also have pizza, wings, hamburgers, fries for those that don’t want mexican food. Now this review is on the Torta and Gorditas we had. The Asada was good and not old. The beans and rice were homemade and tasty. The gorditas were good and homemade. The only thing is all of it lacked a little salt. But nothing I can’t add myself We will return to sample other menu items. I will keep U posted ?

Via Delosantos – Menu with Prices – 9120 N Central Ave, Phoenix

Saturday night. 6ish. Not very busy inside but the parking lot was jammed. Sat immediately. Chips and salsa along with waters brought quickly. Chips greasy and hot. Mild salsa had great flavor with a slight kick. Hot salsa was just that. Hot but good. Order a shredded beef chimi, kid’s enchilada plate, #12 combo. (Taco, enchilada, rice and beans) ordered the bean and cheese dip appetizer to start. Don’t bother with this one. It’s just refried beans in a dish. Good beans but not really a dip. We added salsa and it was much better. Food arrives. Everything looked good but instead of the kid’s enchilada they brought 2 mini tacos. We didn’t want to wait so my son said he’d eat them. I’d have thought we’d get a small discount for the mistake but nah. He ate them so no foul. Husband’s combo was average run of the mill mexican. Nothing wrong. Nothing special. My chimi was soggy but the tortilla mised with the guac and sour cream was good. Shredded beef tasted like something I’d cook in the crock on a long day. Overall was a decent meal and a good value if you’re looking for large portions. Just average though. Building is in dire need of a remodel. Missing tiles and chips in tables. If in the area I would dine again but not go out of my way.

Habaneros mexican grill. Menu with Prices 3104 Hamilton Blvd, Allentown

This place seems relatively new, and I really hope they do well because I really enjoyed dining here. It was a late weekday evening and the place was pretty much empty, but I was working nearby and they’d caught my eye and I’d been dying to stop in. The staff and food seems very authentic Mexican. I was quickly brought complementary chips and salsa, which I couldn’t stop eating! The salsa was a bit bland, but there were a couple hot sauces on the table that enabled me to spice them up! When I finished, the server even came by and refilled them again without me having to ask. I ordered the cheese enchiladas a la carte with a side of the refried beans. The refried beans were huge, and actually very flavorful. They don’t taste like every other Mexican place’s refried beans- they’ve certainly got their own recipe. The cheese enchiladas were cheesy and saucy and so tasty! They gave me plenty of jalapeños, as requested. I left happy and full, and with leftovers. I’d definitely recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the area again!

La Bonanza Authentic Mexican Food – Menu with Prices – 17091 Newland St, Huntington Beach

Truly authentic. Everything is made to order from scratch and I gladly wait patiently for my meal. I absolutely enjoy the green sauce enchiladas with chicken. Every facet has a unique flavor. You can savor the freshly cooked chicken and the cream and cheese soaked in the salsa verse, which tastes like it was made minutes ago. The plate comes with beans and rice that are actually delicious by themselves. I could eat the beans and rice alone all day. Beans are perfectly salted and the rice is fluffy and has just the right amount of seasonings. I have to drive 30 miles to L.A. to find anything near the same tiers of flavor. 1) This isnt fast food. It is real and it is real good. Patiently wait for your meal to be made. 2) Call ahead to reduce wait time. 3) The chef hasn’t mentioned it on paper but she will swap out many ingredients upon request or add to them. And that is why I truly favor this place and the staff. The combinations you can come up with are limited only by your imagination. Chimichangas with fried egg on top? Breakfast burrito with carne asada? Yes please.

Los Alamos Cocina – Menu with Prices – 1667 Summit St, Kansas City

I love hole in the wall places when looking for food. We were in the mood for a Mexican breakfast and decided to try this place out. Walked in and was greeted by the staff who were so friendly and patient with helping us to decide what we wanted. We started with complimentary chips and two different kinds of salsa (a green and red one). Both were a unique flavor than the normal salsa I’ve tried but were tasty. We also decided to get some guacamole which was made with super fresh avocados and was heaven in your mouth. I ordered a chorizo burrito with added rice and beans. The chorizo was delicious and the added rice and beans to my burrito was the cherry on top. I also ordered a small menudo. The spice on the menudo was just right and so full of flavor! I had ordered pan instead of tortillas and even that was amazing. Boyfriend had a 2 meat plate with what I believe was spicy Puerco Asada and Chile Verde. He was impressed which says a lot because he is picky with his Mexican food. Baby sis ordered a bacon and egg burrito that she enjoyed. I loved this family owned restaurant. I very much felt like I was at home with good Mexican food! Will definitely come back if I’m ever in Missouri again.

Tres Campanas New Mexican – Menu with Prices – 3136 Cerrillos Rd, Santa Fe

I usually shy away from Mexican restaurants. Even in this part of the country (the SW), they tend to serve the same ol’ thing — tacos, enchiladas, burritos — you know the drill. We stumbled upon this place as it was near the hotel and the building at least had an interesting facade. But, definitely not the same ol’ refried beans. For example, I had tacos with pig brains (tacos de cabeza) and my dad had tacos with toungue (lengua). The cabeza was not bad — a little on the bland side, but the lengua was very good. Beans on the side were very good (beans seem to be the touchstone of quality for me lately) — almost like a soup, and tasty. Overall, a very unique menu backed up by good quality food. Give it a try.

Mercado Pasadena – Menu with Prices – 140 S Lake Ave suite 101, Pasadena

Opted to come here for lunch, because margaritas ? What I ate: – Guacamole: This was great! Definitely get this to share with the table. Honestly, my friend and I would have been happy sharing this huge portion with margaritas – Chicken enchiladas with mole: I love a good mole, and this didn’t disappoint. Really deep nutty flavor. Chicken was tender. Rice and beans were okay. – Paloma margarita: I love grapefruit, and this margarita was perfect. Not too strong, but had a nice kick. – Beef filet tacos: This was so good. That tortilla was fresh and thick. Beef was superrrrrr tender Pros: – All the food that we ordered was delicious! – Staff was friendly – Patio seating, some near the front of the restaurant entrance, and another entire patio area next to the street. Perfect for nice CA weather – Nice selection of margaritas – When we walked through the main restaurant, it was pretty nice inside. Cons: – I kind of hated the fact that they did not have the tacos a la carte for the lunch menu. My friend really wanted to try a nice mix of tacos, but they only come in pairs on a plate with rice and beans. – Parking, depending on the time of day you are there can be hit or miss – On the pricier side. This is definitely a classier place, but maybe not worth the price? We ordered 2 drinks, 2 entrees, and an app, with tax+tip it came out to almost $100! What an expensive lunch Would I come again? Maybe for happy hour?
