There are over 38,000 Mexican restaurants across the United States. Mexican food is the most popular international cuisine in the U.S., representing 42% of all ethnic food sales.

I’ll try that if I see it.
Yes, we live in a small town, miles from anywhere. Do a lot of shopping on Amazon. I’m not so sure about the better prices, though.
I remember that the Owl Cafe in Albuquerque had a great green chili cheeseburger. Also, green chilies on a breakfast omelet was good, too.
‘A small town miles from anywhere’ sounds nice.
I guess it depends on what you buy, but we do pretty well. And the selection available - more often you get what you want, instead of settling for what your store may have.
You also have to factor the time it takes to ‘go out shopping’ - which, except for groceries, I just don’t enjoy anymore. Lately we’ve even had groceries delivered; it’s nice to sometimes sleep late on Saturday, read a book all day, and just go nowhere ;-)

After all, what’s a day or two for a good GCCB? My kids thought I was crazy, until they tried one. Then, only half of them thought I was crazy.
Pico, My version.
3-4 Roma Tomato (Diced small)
1/2 Onion of choice Diced small (yellow/red/sweet/white)
Minced Garlic (1 tsp or more to taste)
Fresh Cilantro Leaves chopped coarse(4-5 Tblsp)
Salt & Pepper- dash of each

Thank you! I’m pretty sure I can get Serranos here.
