Mexico drips authenticity like a real taco should.

The Scene
Comfy booths, a seperate smoking section and great Mexican food could make you feel like you're in Mexico. The food comes out fast and hot. Of course, you already inhaled a basket of chips and salsa. You did come prepared to eat, right?

What to Wear, Who to Bring
Anything goes here. Shorts and T-shirts are fine, yet you wouldn't feel uncomfortable in khakis. Bring your family because Mexican food can be had on the cheap (the chips go a long way). Huge sodas with free refills will keep the kids quiet.

What to Order
Aside from the free chips and salsa, the fajitas are flavorful and cooked appropriately (order a side of rice if you go in for that). The chicken soft tacos, built with just enough onion and guacamole, rule. The quesadillas, the Mexican food equivalent to a grilled cheese, are also noteworthy.

To Drink
What else but the margarita could be such a mood-lifter? Mexican music and the party drink will have you ready to cha-cha.
