I recently moved to the US (legally), and thank God i look white, so sometimes i tell people that I'm from Argentina or Spain lol, you know, to avoid all the negative stereotypes of being from Mexico. I don't fake the goofy accent though, Americans can't really tell the difference

yep, being pale definitely helped my family here a lot, though my grandparents had accents until they died and my grandmother's english wasnt perfect.

doesnt help that they moved to boston and welp turns out we really are racist as gently caress

Sure I could make it myself, but yu can't get mexican food in the uk in the same way that you can get indian and chinese food - there's an indian takeaway joint less than 3 minutes from my front door, and another 20+ within delivery distance. There's not a single mexican food chain in the UK that I know of, and I've never seen an independent mexican food place. I'd guess London has a couple, but never seen one.
Rumours and fables speak of a Taco-Bell on a Air Force base that's leased to the USAF but i think it's wishful thinking.

i asked my buddy and there is, in fact, a taco bell on Mildenhall RAF. Good luck!

Milanesa is a thing in authentic mexican cuisine. As are fried potatoes, fresh vegetables, and even vinagrette and other emulsified sauces considering the amount of French influence in the country's history.

YES.

My family always begs me to make milanesas because supposedly I can cook a very good ones.
Also it can be fries or mashed potatoes. With a lettuce salad.

By the way, torta de milanesa. Best poo poo ever.

The Rick Bayless "Authentic Mexican" is a good start good recipes. It's hardly proofread at all but makes great food.

our local joint is mos def leaning more towards the tex-mex side of things so it's not really authentic but it is staffed by legit mexicans (got a bunch of employees departed a few years back lmfao) so the food is at least really tasty. Awesome beef flautas though, goddamn.
