actually the best judge for a Mexican restaurant is how many lawncare trucks are in the parking lots at lunch
Actually I find this to be true
La Tiendita Taqueria in BR as a prime example

Chips and salsa are a good gauge at first
I find that if a place does not offer free chips and salsa, chances are it will be a pretty good restaurant.

Lengua tacos and cabrito would prove their knowledge of Mexican.

If we're talking tex-mex, its simply the quality and freshness of the chips and salsa. This will show how much the staff gives a damn.
stale chips or kethupy salsa.

Pork tacos. Most bad Mexican places only have chicken or beef and serve crappy cheese on every taco. If they offer pork with onion, cilantro and salsa verde then they may be legit. I only say this because that dish is literally all they eat on lunch break.

They need to be close enough together so I can get some of each on my chip with minimal effort.
Tostada chip, Spanish rice, refried beans scooped off your plate = perfect bean dip.

Chips and salsa make or break a restaurant for me

Enchiladas IMO. Chips and salsa is important but I can overlook if the enchiladas are good.

Juan's chips and salsa blow, which is why I am reluctant to eat there even though I enjoy their other food.

I think superior is overrated to be honest. In BR I go prefer casa lavida

I hate SG. But I see people raving about the chips and salsa.

So judging a Mexican place on its chips and salsa is no bueno
Posted on 5/7/14 at 11:14 am to Neauxla
Yep. The entrees at the SG in Shreveport are still consistently good, but the New Orleans SG is complete shite.
But you right .. Superior's chips & salsa are fricking on point. The queso at most though isn't like the queso in Shreve, which is white cheese, baked to where the top is slightly crispy and has chunks of white onion in it. It's the bomb. Not some yellow velvettay bullshite.

All this Mexican and taco talk got me hungry. A trip to kennerbrah for lunch is a must today.

I've only been to the one in Birmingham. I don't recall the chips and salsa being particularly good or bad, but their brisket quesadillas were the bomb. The brisket was pulled and had great flavor.
I like the salsa at Cocina Superior. I like a salsa that's blended a pretty good bit. I'm not a fan of big chunks. Their salsa has a good flavor and nice kick.

If I wasn't going to the dentist I would go to casa barrega
