You mean US tex-mex. Because there is a lot of variability in Mexican cooking and restaurants.

I suppose so. But whenever I go to a place like San Diego or San Antonio

San Diego/Cali mex is great but it's not true Mexican. Neither is Tex-Mex. Luckily I love all three types

TEXAS

'true mexican food' isn't necessarily better

In the US I think you're right. I do prefer Ameri/Cali/Tex ified versions to "authentic" here. Real stuff in Mexico city

TEXAS

2/12/19 11:10am

Even mexican food in mexico isn't necessarily great

Dissenter

2/12/19 11:13am

Also true. I think the mole poblano is more a taste thing though. Funny, I was in Puebla las January. I had some amazing

Mole Poblano may be my favorite food ever. Its subjective, and you have bad tast

you're referring to Robertos. There are many True Mexican places to go to in

AngryNeighbor

2/12/19 11:46am

No you're not the only one. Lots of people have that take because they're either not going to the right places or live

TEXAS

2/12/19 10:58am

One side note-for the most part, even "not great" Mexican is still pretty tasty. I think Mexican has a pretty high floor

TEXAS

2/12/19 11:04am

Agreed.

Great way to judge a place is if they make their own salsa (a must for good restaurants) or torillas (not a "must" IF

TEXAS

Fresh made, warm tortillas + queso=heaven

If it's serving ground beef, its not a Mexican restaurant

Josef K

picadillo has ground beef and it's amazing

TEXAS

2/12/19 11:15am

Sure, but if they serve ground beef not in picadillo, chances are they're not

Is that different than Italian places that all some shape of pasta,maybe chicken

palangi

2/12/19 11:14am

True. I just don't hear people say, "This place is the most authentic

gwalker

I have no idea what you are talking about

Dillinger

You could say the same thing regarding burger joints.

mudpupper

I judge most Mexican restaurants by their salsas and their meats

All food starts in a Sysco warehouse. You're paying for restaurant decor and
