Default Best mexican rest. around?

ok, i have been to quite a few mexican restarants since Em and i have been together, and found one today in botetourt, right off of 150B on I81, its the same as the one at tanglewood (where ground round used to be) i must say that has been the best one i have been to so far!

i dont remember the name, but the food was incredible, and the two of us ate for 21 bucks, which is pretty damn good by my standards.

El Grande Rodeo on Brambleton across from Kroger is good, as is El Guadalupes in Blacksburg.

i havent tried the one on top of Bent Mtn, anyone been there?


what is your fav mexican place?


keep in mind i drove 150 miles today to eat there.....

mi puerto's here on radford main street is pretty decent, and seems very very cheap. the live mariachi band was off the hook too, but that was only a specific day.

fc735,
You ate at Racho Viejo's today. I have not personally been there to eat, but I hear it is very good.

thanks for the name, i was on the way home from getting a truckload of oil and stuff for the shop, and i saw it, so we ate there. it was very very good, the chicken was some of the best i have had in a while. it was spicy, but not too bad for this poor ole white boy to handle.

El guads has 5 dollar pitchers, and all the burritos and free chips you could want. I dont see how it could get any better
