Paquito’s is the kind of place where eclectic surroundings – hot-pink ponchos used as tablecloths, walls the color of lime sorbet, and quirky knickknacks galore – truly reflect the menu. Warm, fresh tortilla chips with chunky cilantro-spiked salsa are complimentary, and other starters include ceviche with jalapenos and a Mexican pizza topped with black olives, […]

Pepper’s is a clean, modern, fast-food Mex establishment with a few indoor tables and outdoor seating set away from Washington Avenue – you almost feel as if you’re dining alfresco on a featureless street in Tijuana.

It can take a good restaurant years to mature into a great one. Poblano had the food down pat upon opening in 2006. Since then, it has gone from pat to phat, service has settled into systemic rhythms, and the residents of the area habitually visit for homespun Mexican food with inventive twists. To wit: […]
Not many of us think of a Mexican restaurant when we’re hungering for a stuffed crab-back, or salivating over sucking on prawn heads. Perhaps, being stone crab claw and Key West pink shrimp-centric, we haven’t had the necessary exposure to inspire such an appetite. Or maybe, being offered mostly central Mexican cuisine here in South […]
A very good year for tacos was 1964. That’s when Roberto and Dolores Robledo and family opened their original Mexican Taco Shop in San Diego.

Really good, really Mexican Mexican food is as common in South Florida as snowstorms on Ocean Drive, which is why this modest little eatery just off Krome Avenue in Florida City is worth getting in your car and enduring the inevitable turnpike Sturm und Drang. No ambiance to speak of, but the food is freshly […]
For a place with salsa in its name, this Mexican fast-food joint sure doesn’t offer much comida t

But this tiny, quaint neighborhood spot serves a wide variety of flavorful Tex-Mex items for a friendly price. The menu offers an abundance of everything you’d expect: enchiladas, tacos, burritos, fajitas, and tortillas. The steak and chicken […]
