While we may have resorted to crockpot queso to satisfy our cheesy cravings in a pinch, a homemade substitute simply cannot compare to its restaurant counterpart. For the real deal, we leave it up to our tried-and-true Mexican eateries. Lucky for us, you can order queso to-go from any of these local spots.
