A national foodies blog has compiled a list of what it calls the Top 10 Mexican restaurants in Tucson, and apparently folks in Tucson are a bit miffed by their selections.
No. 1 on the list is Guadalajara Original Grill on East Prince Road; No. 10 is Mariscos Chihuahua on North Grande Avenue. Also on the list: Cafe Poco Cosa downtown, Tucson Tamale Co. on East Broadway, El Guero Canelo on North Oracle Road, Poco & Mom's Restaurant on the east side and Taquiera Juanitos on West Grant Road.
Conspicuously ignored on the list: El Charro, one of the Southwest's oldest Mexican restaurants; and Mi Nidito and pretty much the whole of Tucson's Mexican restaurant heartbeat on South Fourth Avenue in South Tucson.
Here's what some Tucsonans had to say about the tabelog.us list:
Rita Quijada-rivera: "They have missed really good spots Teresa's Mosaic on Grant silverbell My nidito 4th ave Casa Molina Campbell Ft Lowell Karachimaca Mission and the list goes on!!!"
Andrew Soberg "What about EL CHARRO??!! El minuto (downtown) crossroads? This list should be called top ten hot dog."
Mi Nidito Restuarant: "I would update the list!"
So what do you think? Does tablelog.us have it right or wrong? Which restaurants belong on the list and which do you feel should be included?
