I have to challenge that and say Mi Familia on Wisconsin... and I'm trying El Mexicano (?) on Jefferson on Monday and I'm betting I'd challenge Lorena's w/ that one too.

If it's Mexican/American...then I'd say, I'd have to try it. I've had Sol Azteca in Washington, Fiesta Ranchera in East Peoria, and a few others (more chain like) and would not call it authentic Mexican.

Oh SAHM...seriously if only. Everytime we head back there we hit up all the Mexican food restaurants and come back having gained about 10 lbs in a week. I really miss the food out there. Closest thing I can come to here is my own cooking, which doesn't even come close to comparing.
