Well, we have been to at least 15 different places and some are good, very good. I don’t mean to criticize Tex Mex. I would probably prefer it too if I had grown up here. But most use taco bell type shells for their tacos and brisket and chile con carne. It’s just a preference and yes, you are right about Mexico and different regions.
I guess “authentic Southern CA” mexican food is different from “Authentic Tex Mex”.....it’s just preferences. Point well taken. thanks.
If you’ve been to 15 places, you haven’t been much of anywhere. There are 15 TexMex places in the little town of Addison alone, for Pete’s sake...
FRiend, you need to take a trip out to West Texas/El Paso. I lived there 15 years, and they serve the best Mexican food in the world.
My mother-in-law had the best recipe for enchiladas verdes, while my father-in-law served the best chile colorado I've ever tasted (and it was hot, too!).
I miss my chiles from Hatch (NM)...the world's finest!
