  1. Redheaded Stranger

    Tex-Mex Mexican

    Chili pepper lights strung overhead and a line out the door set the tone for this Tex-Mex spot named for a Willie Nelson record. The flour tortillas are made in the open dining room, which is the kind of detail that keeps regulars honest about why they're there. Tacos, burritos, crunch wraps, a green chili cheeseburger, house hot sauces. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, and the frozen drinks have their own following.

    Two honors, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 75

    How we score

    The dishes from the writeups

          Best Place Score
