Weird, we have a Cielito Lindo Mexican restaurant just a mile or so away, it's the closest Mexican place to our house.  They have outstanding interior Mexican and fairly good Tex-Mex. I usually get enchiladas mole there.

The one here was definitely not a national chain.  Tiny little mom and pop place.

We have a new one near us that is pretty decent.  We have two South American places that are both solid, and 3-4 more TexMex kind of places, but the "best" ones are up Buford Highway from us.

Emilio's Tacos and Tequila

They all seem pretty solid to me.

How do you rank the states based solely on their Mexican cuisine?

  • California
  • AZ, NM, TX (excellent but more dominated by Tex-Mex)
  • Other Southwestern/Western states (CO/UT/NV/maybe OK) -- proximity and population
  • Everywhere else, but with a bias to large cities / population centers because you can find good anything if there are enough people around.

1) Texas (big state with a massive border with Mexico, with tons of actual Mexican food plus Tex-Mex, also a heavy New Mexican influence in the W/NW)

2) California, (very good Mexican food, much of the state is further from the border which results in decreasing quality as you move north. Cal-Mex is just okay.  Fish tacos is a dish not a cuisine :))

3) New Mexico (very good Mexican food, but it's just smaller with fewer population centers and less Mexican food overall.  But they do get bonus points for having their own New Mexican cuisine which is delicious).


4) All the rest, and agree with bwar that larger cities will just have more options and therefore more chances at being good.
