This is an increasingly tough category to pick as our local food scene continues to blossom, but when chef Chris Palmeri—maybe the king of local comfort food—decided to open a gritty Mexican joint with co-conspirator chef Christian Dolias, we knew we were in for some awesome grub. Devastatingly delicious tacos, tortas and salsas—plus the magnificent steak and French fry-stuffed Cali burrito—are deserving of the highest accolades. 3240 S. Arville St., 702-982-6435. Mon-Sat, 11 a.m.-9 p.m.
