Los Cucos. Get the pork w/Los Cucos sauce. (Carnitas ala Cucos) Gringos/ Jimmy Changas has good tamales. Mely's was one of our favorite small, family owned, but they closed.
Just to give you a little more variety in responses we also like Killen's TMX and Emma's. And Iguana Rana's, but mostly for the margarita flights 🤪 But I will say that more often than not we opt for Gringo's because they seem to be really in tune with the growing number of people that are eating low carb and they offer a variety of options to cut the carbs on their usual entrees.
@SimonBiggly .. Definitely Gringos ..east end or west end.... but Emmas is usually always less crowded. ... I think I could eat Mexican here almost anywhere .. well... The margueritas make it all worthwhile ...and then there is the queso ... and chips... heck .. all of it...
My fave is now Taqueria Mi Pueblito. Glad it is not as popular. Small place that fills up now. I am Mexican. Mely's was our favorite. At least when Mr Mely ran it. Gringos is for gringos.
