i went to some back alley place off the strip in cancun at like 4am.. it had a few locals playing pool.. that's about it.. i think we were served horse meat.. but the bean dip was amazing. (some might say so is the fact we didn't get robbed)

real restauraunt? i donno..

if you want damn good authentic burritos (altho i'm told by my mexican friends that they don't eat burritos lol) check out Burrito Boyz... friggin best mexican food in the history of the world...

I'd strongly recommend the Large Steak with all the toppings and a full line of their hot sauce if you can handle hot...

i'm drooling just thinking about it...

Mexicali Rosa is what Taco Bell is to Mexican

If your near StreetsVille check out Mexicana Cantina

Real authentica mexican food and owned/operated by a mother and daughter. If you like Mexicali Rosas you will LOVE Mexicana Cantina.

I've never even heard of that place, but if ever around there, will definitely make an attempt. Thanks for the tip, Matt.
