Eating authentically prepared food lets you taste the very essence of a country and draws far fewer angry glares than chewing on its national flag. Nibble your way through Mexico, Spain, and Italy with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $14 worth of Euro-style Mexican fare at Encanto Mexican Grill in Schertz.

Prepared with fresh ingredients and European flourishes, Encanto's traditional Mexican menu has enchanted critics at Stone Oak Magazine. Trios of mahi-mahi fish tacos serenade taste buds with a medley of chipotle cabbage slaw and queso fresco ($13.95), diving into the crowd during the encore. Instead of being showered with compliments, alluring rib-eyes beg to be slathered in spicy ranchero sauce ($17.95/10 oz.). Spanish-style omelets ($6.95) shelter cacti from headhunting tumbleweeds at weekend brunch, paving the way toward a light lunch of chicken ($9.95/6 oz.), tofu ($8.25/6 oz.), or helium fajitas.

Thanks to an extensive wine list and patio seating, patrons can pair glasses of vino with swigs of fresh air. On weekends, guests flock to the dance floor as bands share lively tunes and crowd-pleasing bird calls.
