La Nacional Mexican Buffet - Columbus, GA

This is the only real Mexican-Mexican restaurant for miles and miles and miles in any direction! Not Mexican American or American Mexican. A real Mexican restaurant, de veras! That being said the menu has been Americanized somewhat since my first visit in 2010. But only in that particular kid friendly items have been added (i.e. hard shell ground beef tacos). Parents & grandparents take note, Kids Eat Free with paying adult every Wednesday night. And I like the thought of gringo kids having exposure to real deal Mexican meals!

For more developed palates, fear not, there are plenty great Norteño classics at this one price ($6.99) - all you can eat buffet. The Mole de pollo & Tamales top my list but you'll find Chiles Rellenos, Chile Verde, Mixed Fajitas, Bistek Ranchero, Flautos, Quesadillas, Tacos, Burritos & Enchiladas, too. The salsa bar goes from mild to wild with plenty of limes for squeezing on everything! And everything made from scratch with the exception of the tortillas. I enjoy the Aguas Frescas, Horchata & Melon beverages that are produced in-house, as well.

Even the waitresses are 100% Mexicana and fully bilingual! So is the cook! Flavor permeates the entire location. It's a great fresh find in a land of chain restaurants and fry joints!

Crisp Tostada & Succulent Ceviche

When appetite is sparked by the light, fresh, quick and inexpensive, be assured, you can be satisfied. And perfectly it all can be done at El Paisa taco cart on State Street in Salt Lake City, UT. There are many such carts on corners throughout the city but one, just one is owned by two brothers (Julio and Felipe) from a town on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Being boys who have grown up in a village facing the sea they know fish and Ceviche. Unlike other street carts (owned principally by Nortenos, meaning big meat), they bring their knowledge of Ceviche to this little Utah town. Oh, you can get the big meat at El Paisa too, but it's not greasy. Being fish lovers, all items offered are fresh, clean and not heavy. And after an informal survey, they are the only street vendors who serve CEVICHE in SLC. Now my question is that if I were to bring a good white wine in a sippy cup could I reach seafood Nirvana right there on the corner of 9th South and State Street? Or if I ordered "to go", I think I might get rather close. And so can you and we'll see you there soon.
