There are lots of arguments over "What is authentic Mexican food?" If you want authenticity, you can't beat Gordita's Aguascalientes, 6102 Bissonnet Street, Houston, TX 77081. It's the next best thing to being there. The restaurant's menu is particular to Aguascalientes, Mexico. You will find some interesting and very authentic items such as tacos nopales (pickled nopal cactus tacos) and gorditas con papas (fluffy gorditas stuffed with authentic Mexican white cheese and potatoes).

The tacos here are sensational. All are prepared with fresh handmade flour tortillas. The taco de carne deshebrada(shredded meat), topped with lots of hot sauce, is the one that Mexico City citizens like the best. Tejanos are fond of the taco de barbacoa (steamed beef head) and the taco de nopales (prickly pear). Breakfast tacos include eggs with carne deshebrada, ham, bacon and chorizo. The cool tile interior and cheery decorations make this a pleasant place to hang out and sipaguas frescas and smoothies or sample the ancient Mexican corn-and-chocolate breakfast drink called atole.

10BEST

Bored with the same old breakfast options? Shake up your routine at this fantastic eatery, whose selection of central Mexican dishes is sure to provide culinary relief. The quaint place serves delicious breakfast tacos, fashioned of homemade tortillas and stuffed with chorizo, eggs, and potatoes. Classic huevos rancheros are also a treat, and even more unusual (to the uninitiated) offerings like tacos made with roasted beef head demand attention too. If you have any command of Spanish, it's a help; if not, you'll still be able to eat well, so don't worry. Fresh juices and smoothies are added
