Loco Mexican Restaurant and Cantina★ ★

In the Fall Creek spot that formerly housed startups LongBranch and 22nd Street Diner, this rollicking Tex-Mex joint fills the house nightly for its generous enchiladas, burritos, and chimichangas. A fresh housemade salsa with a kick starts the meal with crispy chips, which are a good companion to tilapia ceviche and flavorful choriqueso, a rich mix of melted cheese and well-spiced sausage. Lavishly sauced enchiladas supremas (red) and verdes (green) are solid bets for the hungry appetites at the table, but tacos, including ones stuffed with slow-cooked brisket barbacoa, allow for slightly lighter and more straightforward flavor. A bar at the rear of the dining room spans the length of the restaurant and promises 50 different tequilas shaken up in some daring pours in opaque tiki glasses. But go for the classic—and strong—margarita. Lunch and dinner daily.
