Hey wimps. Tex-Mex has way too much tomatos (tomatoes) in it. Try some of our medium chili here in New Mexico if you can take it. But this was absolutely funny as all get out.

Years ago we had some techs in from California to check on our computer here in Albuquerque. I asked them what type of restaurant they wanted for lunch. MEXICAN they said over and over. I asked if they knew how hot it could be. They said “of course, we’re from California”. So we walked to a local restaurant here in downtown. I still remember both of them putting the first bite in their mouths. Their eyes got big and the sweat just popped out on their foreheads. I will give them credit. They did eat it and during the next week we went back a couple of times at their request.

Incidentally it was the medium version.

Thanks for the memory.

Depends on where you live in California. In the valley there are old Mexico restaurants everywhere. Great food. Up in NorCal ......not so much. My brother lived in Fairfield and Sacramento for quite a few years so I’ve eaten Mexican food all over the place up there. It pretty much sucked. We used to laugh when my brother would say he found a decent Mexican restaurant. The people in the valley and SoCal are spoiled when it comes to good Mexican food. It is everywhere.
On the other hand, I don’t like Tex Mex at all.
