I tried Chipotle recently, because I heard they were no longer McMexican. Still waaaay too much cilantro for my taste, though. (When I was growing up in New Mexico, we didn't need no stinkin' cilantro, though nowadays, even my old favorite haunts use it some - crank crank crank)
There's a local but fast-growing chain herei FL called Tijuana Flats that has a super Taco Tuesday special - two generous tacos, chips and a drink for 5 bucks - and that has become a weekly indulgence for me. (Very fresh and a hot sauce bar with dozens of exotic and in some cases dangerous pepper sauces.) I get one soft wheat tortilla with chicken, and a hard shell taco with beef, and a side of guacamole for an extra dollar. Now I can't wait for next Tuesday! (They're topped with fresh, not pickled, jalapenos, tomato, onion, lettuce, cheese and sour cream standard. Worth a visit next time you're in town.)
