Living in Southern California, amazing, authentic Mexican restaurants are abundant. We frequent some of our favorites a few times a month. Trust me when I say, the little family-run, hole in the wall places are the best places to find truly authentic Mexican food. If you don’t have an authentic Mexican hole in the wall restaurant near you, you’ll want to keep track of these authentic Mexican recipes. They are perfect to add to your weekly family dinner rotation, and of course, for Cinco de Mayo!
