    In addition to all of the above, I like Las Palomas, tucked away in the corner of the West Woods Shopping Center. Shout-out to Manuels in the Arboretum, too.

    + 1000 on Fonda San Miguel. That is as authentic interior Mexican as it will get. It’s a fine restaurant. Used to frequent Casa Garcia on North Austin on Pecan Street, the interior is nice but the food, to my opinion, declined some.

    La Mancha (close to Fonda San Miguel location-wise) is also a good place. It’s more Tex-mex than authentic but it is pretty good.

    Hey, Gang!
    What about Taco Bell? ;-)

    Edit: Kidding aside, my late first wife was a big fan of El Chicos. I would not put them into the same category most restaurants that have been named here. But some fond memories of going there with her about once a month in the late '90s. She was a big fan of their chimichangas.

    Lots of good ones already mentioned.

    Here are few others.

    Enchiladas y Mas on Anderson is good.
    Habaneros on Oltorf.
    La Traila on Burnet. This is a trailer in the parking lot of gas station on Burnet. Think they have a few around town.

    Some friends took me to Eldorado Cafe the last time I was down there several months ago. I found everything to be really good there.

    I’ve always preferred Amaya’s Taco Village, but they have really raised prices during the current economic crisis. It’s hard to justify $17 to $19 a plate. Pretty sure their choice of real estate for their locations doesn’t help.

    Now my go to is Casa Garcia’s.
    Ask about any of my past encounters.
