I have to support Rhino on this one. I know on paper that seems preposterous but I go out of my way to find the best, and then the most authentic, Mexican food joints pretty much everywhere I travel. Phoenix, Flagstaff, all over Colorado, everywhere in Texas, New Mexico, Milwaukee, Illinois, Florida, California... you name it. And I spent time in Hermosillo, Mexico for work. The real Mexican food I had in Mexico, from multiple locations, was good, but quite plain. It was on par with what I've had from food trucks that used to visit us on jobsites outside of Joliet, Illinois.


Seconded. The local Mexican joints in Bowling Green, Kentucky are family-ran and have flavor on-par with anything I've had in Texas, New Mexico or Arizona. Meat on the roaster, corn tortillas off of the skillet when you order, fresh cilantro and limes at the ready. Good stuff. Just have to know where to look.
