As per usual, when we ask – y’all deliver the goods.
We previously asked our followers on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter about your favorite Mexican restaurants and you showed up with quite the list.
This list is not our end-all, be-all list of best Mexican restaurants in town. This is YOUR list – a list by the people, for the people. Which means that the definition of Mexican food is totally up in the air – everyone pretty much has their own around here. So, use this list as a starting point to find some of the most visited and well-liked Mexican joints around, then dig in to their social media and website to see what they’re all about – OR – if you’re just nosy and what to see what your neighbor thinks is the best.
To check out the results in writing, click through the social media links (Facebook / Instagram / Twitter) and see for yourself who said what, which spots came up the most, and which restaurants shamelessly shouted themselves out.
