Experience The Cinco De Mayo Buzz Of Casper’s Mexican Dining Scene

When I go to a Mexican restaurant, I'm sure I'll get a cerveza, chips, salsa, and fajitas on my table. I'm unsure why or when it started, but my family loves eating at Mexican restaurants. All my nieces and nephews want to go there for their birthday dinners, and the local Mexican restaurant is their choice.

My family isn't rare. In fact, according to a survey from chefspencil.com, Mexican cuisine is the favorite ethnic cuisine in Wyoming and 26 other states in the U.S. Only Chinese food is more popular across the nation.

If you've ever driven by at lunch or dinner, it's a sure bet that the parking lots at the Mexican restaurants in Casper are full. That's saying a lot when so many restaurants specialize in Mexican cuisine.

Depending on where you are from in the country, that location has the most "authentic" Mexican food. Having lived in many different parts of the U.S., I've seen people take their food seriously. I've seen people fight over who had the best Mexican food and prepared it properly, which always cracks me up.

I'm not sure how many people who have more than likely never even been to Mexico are 0% Mexican and don't know the ingredients in one Mexican dish could fight like that, but it's funny nonetheless.

I always like to find my favorite places to eat when moving to a new location, but how do you know if you've found the best option if you don't try them all? To make sure I see all the best ones, I asked for your help. There's no doubt that Wyomingites love Mexican food!
