2. Out of these, On The Border

The best: G&R's restaurant in El Paso, TX, also La Hacienda in El Paso.

The best Mexican food in the world is in EL Paso - no need to go elsewhere.

It's one of the things I really miss about my hometown.

3. Down here in Okiehoma and Tejas
We got a little thang called Taco Bueno, which is like Taco Bell but can be a whole lot better, more often than not.

Having said that, I also gotta say that Taco Bell TASTES GREAT!

9. Yes I did

But Taco Bell does make the most money out of all those restuarants so it was only fair to list them.x(

10. el charro in tucson arizona
or los quatros mil pas in san diego.

but then there is this bowling alley in albuquerque...

one thing is for sure, though - the best mex food ain't in no chain of gringo restaurants.

take it from a DU food snob.

12. I MISS Filibertos!!!!!
That was dorm grub, Fili's and a place over on Southern and McClintock that closed in about 1994..... I can't even remember the name, but they had the best tortillas in the Valley back then, and the world's best pico de gallo.

Since I moved up here, I can't get good Mexican unless I make it myself. We've got a filiberto's style place that's close, but no cigar.

And it's not worth the sinus headaches, the bronchial congestion, and the headaches of dealing with my cold-warring, divorced parents to go back to the Valley (and especially not this time of year!) for a restaurant.

Champ - are you a current ASU student?

Pcat, class of 96.

14. flavorful fire!
any place/person who can make that is a winner! :bounce:

If my face doesn't sweat, my nose doesn't run, my mouth doesn't go mostly numb, it wasn't worth eating. :9

15. I like Mi Cocina.
They have good chips & salsa. I know they are a bit generic, but the food alwways tastes very fresh. I also like being able to look into the kitchen and watch the cooks at work, which I can at the one nearest me.

I would vote for home made, but I'm the only one who cooks in my house, and food always tastes better to me when someone else is doing the cooking.
