Touchy subject. I like El Gabacho Tex-Mex Grill, 2408 W. Abram St.. The foodies like Papaya Mexican Grill, 100 W. Pioneer Parkway. Paula’s at 1224 W. Arkansas Lane is the spiritual descendant of Casa Jose, once the best. El Ranchito, 3517 S. Cooper St., is great at its Dallas location. Candlelite Inn, 1202 E. Division St., is the old-school favorite for its chopped-escabeche green salsa.
Margaritas to go? Yes or no?
