A
Reuben's
Talk about changes in longitude: Reuben's has the underlit, cinder-block, folding-table, bright-muraled look of a real Oaxaca cantina, and the food isn't far behind. Plates are greasy, cheesy and generous, and you'll agree that the chili rellenos, fish tacos and salsa 'broke da' mout.' Service may be slow, but that's why Mexico invented the margarita.

B
Habaneros
Habaneros unites a diverse crowd, their only commonality the search for a decent taqueria. Retirees, the after-beach crowd and Latin American coffee pickers (the latter being the true indicator that this place is 'numbah one') savor burritos, tacos and plates of fajitas elbow to elbow at two long counters. Cash only.

C
Luquin's Mexican Restaurant
Everybody recommends Luquin's - not so much for the good-but-not-great Mexican food as for the scene. This Pahoa institution is a gathering place to hang out, eat, talk story and enjoy a drink or three at the cocktail bar.

D
Tako Taco
It won't put Mexico out of business, but it's hard to find disappointment in the Mexican dishes here. The pineapple-tomatillo salsa is pure heaven; pour it liberally over fresh enchiladas, fish tacos and chili rellenos.

E
Hula La's Mexican Kitchen
This food stand will satisfy your Mexican craving with an extensive menu of fresh and yummy plates and à la carte items. Warning: the portions aren't huge and the kitchen's idea of 'greens' is a few leaves.
