My favorite Mexican restaurant has closed and I still haven’t gotten over it. The Last Concert was a staple for decades. You remember, it was the hole in the wall on the northside of Downtown, where you had to knock on the red door to enter. I loved the ambiance, the wait staff, the enchiladas and the music.
What are my must haves, you may ask? I like a great margarita (imagine that), spicy sauce, fun atmosphere and interesting food. I don’t care if the spot is a quirky place on a rough street or if parking is non-existent. Actually, quirky will raise it up higher on my favorites list! Anyway, I’m still searching for a replacement and so far, these are in the running for my next favorite.

It’s always hustling, sports are always on the tvs, there’s a vast assortment of menu options and I love that the crowd is always diverse and lively. It’s the kind of place you can talk to the table next to you and have a great time.

This regional Mexican cuisine has more of an authentic flair and upscale attitude. The margaritas are hand-shaken and the chef is nationally renowned. The presentation is wonderful as is the patio and everything on the menu is divine.

This is a Mexico City style bistro. I love sitting near the bar, as there are neighborhood regulars who frequent often and it’s great fun to hear their banter with the bartenders. Everything is great here and I particularly love the dishes they serve their food in. Also, be sure to go for the margarita of the day. You won’t go wrong!

This is our favorite Friday night margarita at the bar place! The food is good, but the diners and wait staff are what makes our visit amazing week after week.
Let me know your favorites so I can try them out! You never know, it may be my new mainstay for Mexican food!
