Mi Rancho is Tex Mex like the rest of them, but I just feel like they do it 
the best with the most inviting atmosphere and by far, the best service. The 
owners actually aren't Salvadorean in this case, they're half Portuguese as 
it turns out.

I've noticed that usually when people from the west ask about authentic 
Mexican food, that's code for what is there other than Tex Mex, as the 
restaurants in California/Arizona/Colorado etc. don't generally serve that.

Oh, I just thought of another restaurant that doesn't serve the standard Tex 
Mex-- Tia Queta in Bethesda. Specializes in Mole (chocolate) dishes as I 
recall. I used to eat there in the early 80's and it's amazingly still 
there, while almost the entire remaining restaurant landscape there has 
changed.
