El Tapatio
★ 4.7(204 reviews)· $$
The complimentary chips and salsa get called out repeatedly here, and reviewers say they're a cut above what other Mexican spots in the area serve. Nachos Carbon, loaded with chicken and steak on crispy chips, and the Strawberry Piña Colada Margarita have each earned their own fans. One warning: the dining room runs cold enough that coats stay on.
