Still there was a mexican place in Denver which whilst I dont recall the name, and actually the food was just OK, did have its own indoor seventy foot high cliff from which they had divers doing the Acapulco style diving... AMAZING!

OMG I MISS PONAKS!!!!!!! I used to go there all the time when I lived there. Thanks for the little taste of home ::sigh::

Casa Bonita is cool, but your right about the food.

We try to avoid it at all costs. Exception is birthday parties for kids and out of town guests. Now Gordo's - LOVE that place.

Two locations - one at the DTC off of 225 at Yosemite, the other at 6th & Sheridan. It was originally this teeny-tiny hole in the wall right over by Casino Buddha, then moved to 6th & Sheridan, quadrupled their prices (which are still reasonable), then opened the other location over in DTC. Nice places, both of them.

Wonder if they serve Mojitos...... maybe I should call them and Blue Bonnet and see if either of them do.

God I hate being told to do my homework! Oh wait. We're not in the NCC thread. I started to tell you about the role of CB's.

OK, ok, I'll get on it as soon as I finish my listings, in about 30 minutes. Check your PM before you get too involved with Tecate :p

Me Gusta on the West Side of St.Paul. Very Authentic. Small and cozy. They are Next to Mr. C's Pizza.

I was trying to think of a few really great places here in San Antonio, but there are so many and they are all "hole in the wall" type places that I can't even remember their names, I just know where they are. Of course, with almost two-thirds of the population being hispanic, I'm not sure we really qualify as "outside of Mexico".

Like much of Texas, however, there is definately a divide between "authentic" Mexican food and Tex-Mex. Tex-Mex is extremely popular here, and most restaurants that claim to be "Mexican" are really just Tex-Mex. It's the little hole in the wall places that always have the best food (and fewest English speakers, but who cares, the food is awesome!).

El Gallo Giro which is on Main street in Kuna, Idaho...around 12 miles out of Boise. Great service and wonderful tacos!

rizan22 · 08-01-2005

Guadalajara Market best chili colorado & salsa, Empire St. San Jose, CA.

La Fama Bakery best chili verde, Glendale Ave. Glendale, AZ.

Both very spicey, if you cant take the heat stay away from these two

for me the hotter the better!

Super Taquaria, best soft tacos & tortas, San Jose, Morgan Hill and Hollister CA.
