Surprisingly, Whitehorse has two-yes, two, Mexican restaurants. Now, we could split hairs and say one of them is more Tex-Mex, but honestly, it is not Taco Bell (hell).
We have Sam 'n' Andy's, which is expenive ($21 pitchers of Margaritas or Sangria) but it is filling and fairly authentic. Also offers steaks and American-style food, hence the Tex-Mex. I enjoyed eating there, but word is the management of the place leaves a lot to be desired...eat there, don't work there. Meals like fajitas are around $20, and less exotic fare (tacos, wraps) are around $15-17. Not cheap, but nothing here is!
Then we have the really authentic place, Sanchez Cantina. It is tiny and fairly crowded, and a tough place to get into on a hot day...when those happen. Food is great, but again, very pricey. Service is languid, and reminds you of what Mexico itself might possibly be like...a no-worries atmosphere. I enjoyed it very much, and our dinner ended at 10pm! One bummer, if they run out of it, it's just not there. So a few meal options that I wanted weren't available. Fajitas around $23, and other items around $16-$17. Price-wise they are very comparable. Sanchez has a bit more, je ne sais quoi...Mexican family run!
I also have a feeling food like this in Mexico costs very few pesos. Oh, the things we do for variety! (and chillies)
Yum.
