I thought you said "authentic mexican"? Since when does SoCal 
style define that? :-)
I don't know all of the places you mention but I'm not all that 
fond of Guapos. I rather like the Rio Grande even if it is 
Tex-Mex. There are many different styles of Mexican cooking, 
Vera Cruzan, Oaxacan, Sonoran (Tex-Mex derives from that and is 
just as "authentic", IMHO) to name a few. New Mexican food also 
derives from Sonoran and differs from Tex-Mex. What's your 
preference but I probably can't think of any close in Mexican 
provincial restaurants?
