I finally made it to Cuco's on Henderson Road last night.  Thanks for the recommendation Joe, above is from an older entry here

I am finishing my leftovers now... chile relleno, one of the chef's specialities:

"Our executive chef is a native of Guadalajara, Mexico and his specialties include Guadalajara Lamb Stew, mojarra frita, chile rellenos and chicken enchiladas. Visit us and you, too, will discover the best kept secret in Columbus'!

Site opens veeeeeeeeery slow and then the music starts... be not afraid, it is only The Mexican Hat Dance, I think.

I wrote more extensively on the subject on my ColumbusBestBlog.com

We went, we ate.  We were disappointed.

We will try Las Margaritas again.  A client raves about the Las Margaritas in Dublin.  There's a Las Margaritas in Powell.  We may try that one.  Or we may go back to the Las Margaritas in Westerville, just South of Polaris Parkway.

A coupon says La Fogata is the best Mexican Restaurant in Ohio according to Country Living Magazine.

La Fogata's title says it's "autentico" but it is a chain. I knew I had seen an ad locally.  There's a La Fogata in Pickerington, outside my usual stomping grounds... 

There's a new La Fogata now in the Worthington / Polaris area... off Worthington-Galena Road, north of 270.  It is in the old La Costa restaurant site at 1175 Worthington Woods Blvd.  Just east of the Crosswoods area.

Tough area wedged between Polaris and Crosswoods.  1178 Worthington Woods Blvd.  was an Italian restaurant before it was La Costa, owned by the same people as Michael Dominics in Worthington... and I think the space was a different Italian Place before that... or maybe a pizza place?

Note to poor Katie who can not read or anyone who has had too many cervezas or margaritas who is tempted to leave a comment like:

Seriously?  Listing 3 El Vaqueros?   That is horrible.  And Baja Fress or Don Pablos??? Could you get any further from authentic Mexican food?

Mexican food here is a sad freaking joke.

La Fogata is a chain... let me repeat it for the Katie's  La Fogata is a chain.   It says it's authentic.. says it in Spanish. 

I will try La Fogata. 

I am going to have to put a breathlyzer on the Mexican Food Poll to keep "Katies" off the poll....
