There's a place near by. The service is extremely slow and their morning's menudo isn't that good. Meh. It's not worth the wait.

i'm within walking distance of 3 places that serve menudo every day fresh starting at 10 am.

Also if you want Mexican Food in Cali go to San Diego. Ask around for the best places. Your mind will be blown.

i got a good place near me that mostly serves tex mex but they will make you real mexican food if you ask.

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

seriously i think i got 10 places near me that are under a mile away that serve good to decent mexican food.

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.

go to a mexican market, or farmers market and just get everything made fresh cheaper than normal.

why don't mexican famlies ever move from san diego to the midwest and make good mexican food, they would probably be able to make like 10 times the money with no competition for miles around.

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,

i have been to champagne illinois once, i forgot most of the trip because it was boring as poo poo because i just had to spend all my time with my family because someone a cousin? was getting a degree in something i didn't care i just got mad i had to sit in a chair waiting for like 400 names to get called over 3 hours.

but yeah i meant shittier states.

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

it was one of those trips where family told me i had to go, then they wouldn't let me leave because they never see me.

also i live like 40 miles from mexico, i can just go to mexico.

still trying to decide what kind of mexican food i'm doing. del taco, the higher end local chain (miguels jr), the lower end unhealthier but tastier chain (albertos), or go to some hole in the wall place and get a pile of cheap tacos

california owns

heh i got within 20 miles i think 4 albertos all with different spellings.

i am a dirty pacifistic socialist so i would love to live in the britain so i could ride that ferris wheel and meet doctor who, but holy poo poo they are so bad at food

SO BAD

but i mean america is built on giving everyone so much delicious food to eat and drink that they don't care about anything else so clearly it's a different game being played

the british are depressed retards who don't realize there bad choices are making them even less happy and then double down.

yeah. thanks to the london blitz, they have built a national identity on being strong in the face of massive depression and suffering, so they subject themselves to it constantly so they can continue to be strong in the face of it.

funny since their main competitor in the modern world for that is russia, it's like they enjoy losing.

It has always been my dream to go to a faraway place from Mexico (or the US), where there aren't many Mexicans, like Australia, Denmark or Sweden, and open an authentic Mexican restaurant, but I'll have to charge $500 dollars per burrito to cover the cost of shipping handmade tortillas and ingredients from Mexico.

lard and cornmeal is that expensive? you could order most spices straight from amazon.

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION TIME

avocados are gross

i don;t mind it, but i never ate them a ton when i was growing up, because the rest of my family was allergic to them. Now i kinda of ignore them most of the year until they go on sale.

also i got a machaca burrito deep fat fried in lard today, was pretty good.

They're like $.99 each here all year' round. SoCal is cool and good for that.

All you need is a bit of salt and pepper and you can just eat em straight up. Also, healthy fats!

i used to steal them from some dude because his tree would hang out over his fence onto the sidewalk.
