Chili's has some of the best, if not the best, enchiladas in Taipei: Ancho-Chile Beef Enchiladas (NT$360) and Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas (NT$360). As you can see from the pictures below, they fill the rest of the plate with rice and beans, as it should be done; a lot of places in Taipei fail to do this.

Kooks' homemade salsa is the best that I've had in Taiwan and reminds me of salsa that I've had at quality Mexican restaurants in North America. The chips are crispy. The nacho plate is one of the best in Taiwan, if not the best.

Eddy's is the closest thing to authentic Mexican food in Taipei. It's owned and run by a Mexican. They have the best Mexican desserts and some of the best enchiladas, nachos, and tacos in Taipei.
