Discover the Best Mexican Restaurants in Maine, New Hampshire, & Massachusetts
Over the last half-century, we have seen the popularity of Mexican food in the United States skyrocket.
These days, you'd have to look hard to find someone who doesn't occasionally like to dine on tacos, burritos, and fajitas.
According to IBIS World, there are nearly 50,000 Mexican restaurants in the United States. Yes, we really love our Mexican cuisine!
In fact, Mexican food is so popular that it will often start arguments. People will argue over which restaurant has the best tacos, chili, or margaritas. And, if you ever encounter someone from California or Texas, they will inevitably tell you how 'inauthentic' the Mexican food served in New England is.
We're not here to talk about that, though.
We want to tell you about the three best Mexican restaurants in New England.
Love Food recently put out their list of the best Mexican restaurants in each state. We've decided to highlight their picks from Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
