"Food snobs will debate whether uber-popular Lauriol Plaza belongs on a list like this. But there’s a reason this restaurant, with some of the most expansive seating options around, is frequently crowded: reliable Mexican and Salvadoran-influenced dishes (don’t skip the fajitas or carne asada), fresh chips and salsa, speedy service, and boozy margaritas." - Missy Frederick, Eater Staff
