TEX-Mex does not equal bad Americanized Mexican food random thoughts Send a noteboard - 28/04/2017 05:27:38 PM

It is simple a style of Mexican food that comes from southern Texas and northern Mexico. Yankees do tend to get confused about this. Just like the styles of Mexican food you find in New Mexico and Sothern California are different than what you get in most of Mexico the style of Mexican food in south Texas is distinct. The stuff they call TexMex after it left that region is no more authentic TexMex than it is authentic Mexican food. Hell you can hardly find good TexMex here in Dallas.

Aren't gyros incredibly popular over there under the name doner kebab? *NM* Ghavrel - 27/04/2017 06:41:23 AM 507 Views
Spicing isn't the same. At all. Otherwise, I'd be unstoppable. nossy - 27/04/2017 09:05:20 AM 934 Views
Oh. See, I get gyros for the grease, the umami, and the tzatziki. The spices are secondary. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/04/2017 09:35:36 AM 530 Views
