After years of going to whatever mexican restaurant that was convenient, we came across La Tapatia - they have a restaurant in Concord, and one in Martinez. Same owner, and same excellent food and service. Come for great chips & salsa or monster-good margaritas, and stay for the great food. I can't recommend one thing over another; the menu is diverse, consistently great, and I have been happy with everything I've ordered here. Great for kids, great for a date. Great if you just need to satisfy your craving for mexican. Give them a try.
Pros: The restaurant is always busy but not noisy. Lots of tables so rarely is there a wait.
