A 7-point checklist for choosing a Mexican restaurant
- Is the food made from scratch? Sauces, salsas and guacamole made in-house taste different from pre-made. The owner, Sebastian Valencia, says everything at Playa Grande is made from scratch.
- Is the menu broad enough for a mixed group? Look for tacos and burritos plus real dinners, seafood, vegetarian dishes and a kids menu.
- Are there traditional dishes, not only Tex-Mex? Birria, carnitas, chile verde, menudo and caldos signal a kitchen that cooks beyond the basics.
- Is there a real bar program? Handcrafted margaritas and a tequila-forward menu matter if drinks are part of your night.
- Are prices posted? A restaurant that publishes its menu and prices is easy to plan around.
- Can you get it your way? Dine-in, pickup and delivery should all be simple.
- What do real guests say? Look at the rating, the number of reviews and what they actually describe.
