A reader with a lot of experience in Mexico recently tipped me off to what some say is the most authentic Mexican food in town: Antojitos Mexicanos (207 N Richmond St., Appleton, WI - phone: 920-380-0244). Located in the former location of Mr. Churro's next to Little Ceaser's on Richmond Street, just north of College Avenue, Antojitos Mexicanos offers inexpensive Mexican food with great flavors. Their tacos, for example, are unlike the tacos found in most Mexican restaurants in the US, but are the perfect double-corn-tortilla open faced treats that I love. Real gorditas, too - greasy but delicious. A highlight of the evening was the fish tostada - an impressively delicious mixture of tender fish and rich flavorings on a crisp tostada. And yes, they have horchata, my favorite Mexican rice drink.

The food is quite inexpensive. You can order gorditas for $2 each, and two might be all you need. Tacos are even less. Three of us had as much as we could eat for $27, including $6 for three horchatas. Not bad!

The tortilla chips are homemade - thus a bit heavy and greasy.

Service is fast and friendly.

The decor and tables are suited for a fast food place, so don't expect fancy - but do expect tasty.

Bienvenido, Antojitos Mexicanos!
