Sarah Crosland,

Charlotte must be in the mood for margaritas because Mexican restaurants just keep opening all over town. From the convivial, locally-owned Paco’s Tacos & Tequila to the national chain, Taco Mac, with 150 beers (or should we say cervesa?) on tap in SouthPark, the city has gone loco for tacos. And because choosing where to eat your queso shouldn’t be difficult, we’ve made this helpful chart. Consider it your guide to navigating what’s new north of the border.

Taco Mac, 4625 Piedmont Row Dr., 704-972-0503; San Antonio’s, 4331 Barclay Downs Dr., 704-364-9334; Paco’s Tacos & Tequila, 6401 Morrison Blvd., 704-716-8226; Pure Taqueria, 111 Matthews Station, Matthews, 704-841-7873; Loco Lime, 1101 Central Ave., 704-333-7837; Vida Cantina y Kitchen, 210 E. Trade St., 704-971-8432
