Some people say Mexican food is the best food in the world! Though the topic of conversation here is completely subjective, I kind of agree that Mexican food is ONE OF THE best food in the world. Known for its tangy, sweet & spicy taste and quirky feel, Mexican cuisine can’t be missed even if you don’t have taste buds for tanginess. Be it the Tacos or the Burritos or even the Quesadillas, you will just love them for their completeness and the way it makes you feel good after a lunch or dinner.
If you are looking for some really great Mexican restaurants in and around you but not the famous chains like Taco Bells and Chipotles, then this list is for you!
