also fish tacos are some magical poo poo when done correctly

Fresh fish taco in Mexico next to the ocean...good. Deep fried weird fish taco....not so good.

Anyone who goes to Vegas needs to hit up Tacos El Gordo. loving magical and is like that video with the spinning meat spindle. Only downside is there are 4 lines for different meats. Need to plan with friends to go in different lines or you'll be waiting for a long time. Also gets busy.

burritos are the ultimate food form, that's why white people jacked it and turned it into chipotle. al pastor is the top tier for mexican food protein but you can't really go wrong unless you're trying to do seafood more than a couple hours from the coast.

deep fried in beer batter is the proper way actually. the fish quality is of huge importance tho.

The bext Mex in my town is a small locally-owned chain (warm gooey blue cornbread!). If there's any Mexicans working there it's purely by accident.
There's been quite few hispanic-owned places that have been opening up that pretty much suck.

The more flies, body odor, and a la carte dishes there is about the place, the more mexican the dining experience will be.

Some important considerations when it comes to the food include: no orange cheese under any circumstances, use of epazote and purslane, mezcal is available, and the salsas contains well charred fruits and vegetables.

Is this just a weird local thing around me or are "Mexican" restaurants owned and staffed entirely by white hipsters a thing everywhere?

There a Mexican joint by me that I'm pretty sure is run by psychics or Mexicans getting messages from the future. Like, I once dropped my fork and a server had a new set of silverware in my face as I was bending down to get the dropped fork.

Their idea of "This item takes longer to prepare" is four minutes, thirty seconds as opposed to four minutes. And if they break your chimichanga, they make up for it by pouring on even more cheese.

I love you, Mexican psychics/Future Mexicans.

New Mexican food is really good and green chile is the bomb and outside of the landscape, those two things are pretty much the only redeeming things about this state anymore. Try it sometime if you get the chance, you will not be disappointed.

Sounds like a weird local thing. Only place here that is any good (the place I got those nachos) is owned by an El Salvadorean couple. Place even has a little market full of imported stuff in the corner. I always stock up on Valentina hot sauce.

Add on to this list that the only fountain drinks available are unlabeled coconut juice, mango juice, and cantaloupe juice in a 1980s lemonade bubbler kind of machine, that the restaurant can also serve as a fresh butcher shop, and that cow and pig are certainly not the only species of meat available

The Psychic Mexicans also wear like industrial PPE arm-length gloves and bring out like 10 dishes at once just lined up on their arm so I think they're telekinetic too because they're balanced perfectly and I've never seen them drop the plates once.

I mean it's only a few of them like that. I think it's more of a wider trend of "This place is exactly the same as {Other Restaurant} except more expensive and staffed entirely by hipsters" that seems to be a thing here.

you post robertos in a mexican food thread

lmao

also cilantro and pico de galleleo are like the grossest thin gs on Earth. Mexicans have bad taste in food, and I hear their government is corrupt. Mexico is kind of a lovely place for all of the reasons mentioned.

Cute, adorable, and creepy at the same time!


There's this guy who used to wander in my mother's neighborhood yelling TAMALITOS DE MAIZ NUEVO. He did that for the whole my 30-something years of life. We never bought, because mom said they were lovely tamales.

Also, I'm surrounded by taquerias but I don't have cash to buy me some tacos.

it's more about sense of smell, some people can detect the soapy smell of raw cilantro and it influences the taste.
