I go to a Mexican restuarant afer going to the range shooting on Saturdays with a friend.
I tried to get something different every time but eventually ran out of menu items. I like the fajitas, usually steak. Can't remember what the other one I get most often is called but the picture on the menu looks good. |

The manuel burrito, no tomatoes at the local mexican joint... i live in a small town with 3 Mexican places within a mile of each other...

Queso fundido for app
Corn tortilla tacos And depending on what I’m in the mood for, it’s usually one of these three. Al pastor Carnitas Carne Asada. Modelo Especial |

Quoted: Torta. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/541243/330B4C78-D8B0-4126-8D8C-C951E1F142E5_jpe-2356640.JPG View Quote This has become one my new favorites. There's a Mexican restaurant near my work that make Tortas that are ridiculously good and YUGE. But it also depends where I'm at. I love blackened Mahi tacos when I'm on the coast. And street tacos from a LEGIT Mexican joint (not a chain-y tex-mex type place) are amazing for as simple as they are. Really, I like about any good Mexican fare. |

Fajitas for me upon my first visit.
If you can’t do that well, you’re not going to do the other stuff well. I have my dishes for Italian, sushi and Chinese and it’s the same deal. Chris |

Quoted: Chili Relleno, hands down, IF it's done right. So far I've found like only two places that make em like I really love em. View Quote Right with you. There is only one place around here for them, but they make them from scratch, traditionally and they are so good. Tamales, same way, only at a different place. They actually grind the masa from hominy in house. I always By a 2 pound stack of their tortillas to go for 4 bucks. There is no comparison with store bought tortillas. None. |

Quoted: Is that like a little masa dumpling noodle, in the first dish. Every one of those look delicious. View Quote yeah, pretty much. Chochoyotes are pure poverty food in central/pacific mexico and has little tweaks depending on region. Mix up your masa, add in some cilantro and green onions or other herbs you like, you want it a little wetter than you would for tortillas so up the fat/lard more than usual. Roll into small balls and push a thumbprint so they cook evenly in the center. Those get tossed into your broth (red with chilie peppers green with tomatillos and poblanos) with meat, beans, and whatever veggies you want, and as they cook they thicken up the broth from the masa that gets cooked off. Its delicious. |

At a hole in the wall type place near my house usually I order a carnitas chimichanga- all meat, topped with pork and green chili and melted cheese.
At another place in town i usually order a stuffed sopapilla filled with green chili pork and topped with melted cheese. There's another place I go for tacos or a burrito al pastor. There's yet another place I frequent where it's either a carne asada burrito with guac, sour cream and +/- french fries, or chicken tacos -fried shell, or carne asada fries, or carnitas torta. I guess I have a lot of favorites. |

CHIMICHANGA!
Chili relleno Beef enchilada w/Boom Boom sauce Tacos (need to find birria tacos) No rice; no beans. |
|
Chicken taquitos
Shrimp fajita nachos with pico, sour cream and rice added. |
|
Chile rellenos, street tacos, and street corn.
If it's Tex-Mex, fajitas. |
|
|
At a new place, I first judge them based on the chips and salsa. Usually I will order something pretty standard like a beef taco/cheese enchilada with beans and rice. If they can't get the basics right, then they aren't likely to get other things right either.

So many can't just name one.
But what I usually end up buying more often is, Birria tacos. Quoted: CHIMICHANGA! Chili relleno Beef enchilada w/Boom Boom sauce Tacos (need to find birria tacos) No rice; no beans. View Quote If you're in the Valley, "Tacos Pepe" on 10th in McAllen for some Birria Tacos. |

View Quote Right up the street from my buddies place, Mama's Pizzeria. I'll definitely look up Pepe's next time I'm down, thanks. |

Quoted: Not restaurant but what do order when you go out for Mexican food? View Quote Beef enchiladas topped with oven baked melted muenster cheese, rice and beans. With a large group, a Botana for starters to share. Xochimilco's, (So-She-meeko's) in Detroit, is the best. |

I can't pick a single favorite, but I could eat tex mex every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.
