Vote for your favorite Mexican restaurant in southwestern Illinois in Round 1 of our poll

To help me prepare for this latest BND food poll, I’ve sated my previously mentioned craving for fajitas and a refreshing paloma.

Now I’m ready.

And now we have our 16 top nominees for our Best Mexican Restaurant bracket.

Starting today, make your picks in the poll below.

The criteria for what makes the best restaurant is up to you.

Tastiest enchiladas? Sure. Strongest margaritas? You bet. Greatest staff? Absolutely.

Vote however you like, as much as you like.

Each round will run for about three days.

I realize that’s not a lot of time, but we do have four rounds to get through.

Round one ends at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, March 16.

As always, these polls are just for fun and completely unscientific. Feel free to send feedback to newsroom@bnd.com.

Make your picks and stay tuned.
