If you can't find good Mexican food in Cali I dunno what you're doing. No place does fish tacos like San Diego.

the dopest thing about mexican food is that you can pretty easily make it yourself, most of it isn't hard at all. but at the same time, gently caress it, hire a mexican to do it.

truly the most american of foods.

truth, my buddy sent me pictures of some lovely 'mexican' place (run by scottish people) that featured such dishes as 'extra mild fajitas' and 'ground beef burritos' that had ketchup in them instead of salsa

this took place in london I think and has been baffling me for years.

I never thought about it this way but that does make total sense

there's a little old man and his kids who sometimes open a tiny semi-outdooor place next to a latin dance club a couple blocks from my house. he's usually just open later in the day fridays/saturdays but goddamn is his food good. get there just before he closes and you can get big heaping piles of tacos for cheap cause he doesn't save anything.

It took me like two years to perfect my method of cooking pinto beans. Ironically I pretty much nailed sopa de arroz the first time I tried it.

I dunno, I live in the midwest and I'm near a city that's at least 30% mexicans. Shady hole-in-the-wall mexican places everywhere.

Although that might be cheating because I'm in Illinois, so our cities have more than 10 people in them. If you're talking about Iowa or some poo poo,

you hosed up dude, shoulda gone to that one place the guys at my old job took me to.

The town's tiny you likely could just go "where's the mexican place" and then some dude will point you in a direction. Once you get close you'll just float on a cloud of the smell of pastor like a hungry hobo

see this seems like the obvious option but the problem is that pile of cheap tacos place ONLY serves these cheap tacos, and sometimes i want some variety. maybe get some tacos and a chicken quesadilla or something.
