I said the salsa and chips were the best around but I agree with you about the food generally. I do have to disagree with you about Austin Grill though, but we all have our preferences. Mixtec is another place I like and the owners there are good people. Hey Jamie – thanks for the comment. I said the salsa and chips were the best around but I agree with you about the food generally.

You probably think it is the best Mexican food because you normally are three-margaritas deep before you order. Haha – Dean, you have to admit you have a soft spot for the place.

If you mean the best fast-food style Tex-Mex, and you're only comparing it to Guapo's and Lauriol Plaza, then fine. But for real mexican food, Mixtec in Adams Morgan has been around forever and is cheap and great. Other than that, there's Austin Grill which is all right, but definitely a step up from Alero. More recently, a bunch of swankier places have opened, serving expensive Mexican food like Oaxaca, Rosa Mexicano, Oyamel, and (sorta) Zengo. These places are more stylish than authentic, but they're no less authentic than tex-mex is anyway. And way better. No way is Alero is the best Mexican food in DC.
