From sizzling fajitas to perfect pastor, the Valley knows where to find Mexican food done right! For the 17th straight year, Cancun Mexican Restaurant (multiple locations) claims the crown with its scratch-made salsas, classic recipes, and a family-friendly atmosphere that makes every meal that much tastier. Casa Margarita (locations in Eau Claire and Bloomer) earns second place with innovative takes on traditional dishes and swift service, while California Tacos (329 Water St., Eau Claire) cruises into third with street-style tacos, loaded burritos, and fan-favorite birria that transport you straight to a Baja beach. –Jen Ekblad
