It's between Santa Fe and Arenales, 2 doors down from Cumana, which was packed so we ended up at this place. Unfortunately I don't remember the name. I don't think it was Pancho's or El Chico. Anyway, the food ranged from passable to good, while our waiter blew dog. We shared a queso fundido with chorizo, which was perhaps a little thin in the consistency department but still good with the homemade tortillas. The tacos al pastor are tiny but apparently tasty, and my "chilaquiles" just simply weren't chilaquiles.

They also have MX beer- Negra Modelo and Corona. To make a short story shorter, I might go back, but I doubt it. Is there another Mexican place in town?

"El Salto de las Ranas" = frog jump. Thread already exists. Place sucks as far as I am concerned.

I heard of a place on Cabildo near Lacroze where they have homemade tortillas. It is on the even numbered side. I'd remember the name if I heard it. Maybe some reconnaisance is needed.

There are vast areas of the US that I won't even eat Mexican food in. I remember in the 80's I was going through Montana and made the mistake of stopping at a Mexican restaurant there. Makes Taco Hell look like Emeril's.

I won't even go into some of the Mexican food I've had in Asia. Too painful.

Well, if anyone wants to investigate the place on Lacroze that Dickhead referred to, let me know.

The restaurant that DH is referring to is MOLE which is on Cabildo why Virrel del Pino. This place started as a takeout place and later expanded into a restaurant. Well, as always its Mexican food - Argentine style which is to say that it is not that good but passable if you are not Mexican.

Yes! That is the name. So maybe not worth bothering with except to get tortillas.

The tostadas are kinda thick, the hot sauce is well not hot but if you slice up some japs (they have them pickled not fresh) it's ok. All in all if your jonesing it'll take the edge off but it's not TexMex, but then again it's not in Texas. Three blocks or so past Lacroze on the way towards the Mansion on Cabildo.
