El Mejor is a great family restaurant - especially in the summer. The outdoor patio is spacious and comfortable. This is a primary reason to go here if you like to eat outdoors with the family or friends for that matter. Depending on the direction you look the views are nice (it's adjacent to Pleasure House road but the noise doesn't bother you much.) If you live in Church Point or Thoroughgood it's also a short easy walk to burn off the food and drink.
The menu is a bit broader than a typical mexican place but it's still very familiar. The fish tacos are good but a little messy. The fish is not battered. The chimichanga is tasty. There are multiple seafood and vegetarian options (I liked the spinach enchiladas.) Kids have Mexican and burger options so they are happy. In the summer, the mariachi band plays at least once a month.
The margaritas as good but typical. Try the Texas version for extra kick. The Bloody Mary is so-so.

I don't know if you have heard the secret about Luna Maya yet, but I would HIGHLY recommend it. Their guacamole is authentic and fresh, and they are known for their mojitos. My boyfriend and I went on Saturday and shared the guac and taquitos for starters and then I had the signature dish - Tamales Luna Maya - and he had a Cornado Burrito. Everything was excellent! It's a bit pricey, kind of hard to find (in Ghent across from Bardo, in a random shopping center), and always a wait (they don't take reservations) but worth it, worth it, worth it!!!!
