Best of Metromix Reno 2013Mexican Restaurant
It retains its 2010 title with voters ...
There's a huge variety — from slightly more authentic than Taco Bell to air-dropped from across the Rio Grande. And across that gamut, these are some of our favorites. If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
And the winner is…
Bertha Miranda's
336 Mill St.
Reno, NV 89501This Mexican restaurant and cantina is a great place to enjoy good Mexican food and a relaxed atmosphere. The place also offers salsa and merengue dancing at 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The menu features huevos rancheros and omelets for breakfast and a wide variety of items for dinner.
Nominees
Miguel's
1415 S. Virginia St.
Reno, NV 89502Open since 1959, many a Reno-ite grew up on Miguel's before there were so many choices in Mexican food. The menu varies from seafood to fajitas, but the owners don't use the word "authentic" Mexican. Be that as it may, you can still get a bowl of menudo. Cheese and onion enchiladas are also a draw. For lighter appetites that go easy on the budget, small plates with a taco, chile relleno or enchilada come with rice and beans. Large windows at Miguel's look right out onto bustling Virginia Street.
Lupita's Mexican Restaurant & Bar
668 E. Prater Way
Sparks, NV 89431Quality food, big portions and excellent prices make this authentic neighborhood Mexican restaurant one to remember. You know its authentic when the menu is in Spanish (though English translations are provided), you can chat with your server in Spanish and futbol is playing on the TVs. Lupita's occupies a small, inviting space, with one side devoted to a full bar in case youre just looking to knock back a Pacifico or margarita.
Abel's Mexican Restaurant
2905 US HWY 40 West
Verdi, NV 89439Abel's opened in 2011 after owner Abel Del Real sold his popular mexican restaurant, La Posada Real, to his brother and started fresh. The spot has similar items as the former restaurant but definitely has it's own touch.
Tacos El Rey
5100 Mae Anne Ave
Reno, NV Known for their authentic and fresh tacos, Tacos El Rey is a solid mexican join in Northwest Reno.

Bertha Miranda's is horrible. I wouldn't go there again if they paid me. Why don't you have some of the other good Mexican food places ?

Can't believe Bertha Miranda's is even on the list. The worst in town.
