Woke up on Friday totally wiped out. I got very little sleep, was emotionally and physically drained from Tuesday and Wednesday evening, respectively, and just had to survive a half-dozen hours of routine work stuff before I could get home. I did it. Thank god. And now I'm off to grab a shower, then head over to Tremont for some culture and Mexican food.
Speaking of which - this goes out to you Cleveland: I know it is unfair to judge your south-of-the-border cuisine after moving here from Texas, but you are so far 0 for eternity. Not counting Momocho, but that high-end stuff doesn't count.
Tonight, La Tortilla Feliz or whatever gets it chance. Let's have a happy ending, ok?

I used to live in Phoenix, and Phoenix beats Texas on Mexican, and Texas beats Georgia on Mexican, and Georgia beats Ohio....so you are 4 degrees away from anything resembling good Mexican. The OLD La Tortilla Feliz was fantastic. But now they've added blueberry jalapeno mojitos and taken away the joy.
I like Luchitas on W. 117th.
Yeah, La Tortilla Feliz was not excellent. Nor would I really call it Mexican (except for the awful decor). Still searching. I'll keep an eye out for Luchita's.
Have you tried Nuevo Acapulco? It's yummy!
I second the suggestion for Luchita's. They have opened up satellites in Hudson, Mentor and Elyria, but the quality is still there and it is a locally owned "chain." I know the family and Luchita and can vouch for the authenticity. I recommend the ceviche. It is highly addictive!!!
Luchita's on 117th is excellent. If you're looking for a good inexpensive eat that's a little further south than Mexico, check out La Casa Tazumal on West 105th. You have to pretty much order in Spanish, but it's incredibly good.
CB - El Jalapeno's on W 117th in Lakewood rules.
We'll have to gather a group together for some grub one of these days..
