You are right about Tequila Cantina being crowded, and that can lead to slow service at times and more of a cafeteria feel. I like Ay! Jalisco a lot. I ate there yesterday. I also enjoy Casa Agave, which is on 301 just north of 44. (It’s much better than Los Magueyes and about two minutes away.) Both Ay! Jalisco and Casa Agave attract a lot of Mexican diners, which is a very good sign.

(The people who pointed out that there are a lot of regional cooking styles in Mexico, and they may not be very much like what we consider “authentic Mexican food” are correct. Perhaps the closest to the real thing around here are some of the Taco Trailers you can find along 441 between here and Leesburg.)
