While enjoying all the Dia de los Muertos activities we also did some Mexican restaurant hopping ~ Chips & Salsa comparing and this is what we found:
Dinner at Miguels Mexican Restaurant. Chips and salsa served with a side of a white cheese Queso! Thick chips. Couldn't stop dipping in the Queso.
Breakfast at Acapulco complimentary of our hotel. No chips.
Lunch at Freds Mexican Cantina Hands down the best chips, thin and sprinkled with seasoning. Served with two salsas green and red.
Snack at Old Town Mexican Cafe
Snack at Casa Guadalajara Great guacamole, blue and white corn chips
Snack at Bara Bara Saloon Cheapest, $5.00 margis HUGE CHIPs (caution, they seat you under trees that shed)
Snack at Casa de Reyes
Dinner at Coyote Cafe the best quesadillas complimentary of our waitress, I forget why. (This is the best spot to be at at the end of the night! Make Reservations ahead of time.

There's so much more to do than what we did, we had to leave some things to come back for.
