You probably weren't eating authentic Texmex random thoughts Send a noteboard - 01/05/2017 07:53:27 PM

Keep in mind this used to be part of Mexico and the Mexican American culture has roots here over two hundred years old. Texmex isn't something that was bought here and changed it is something that free here over time and is its own authentic style of food.

Aren't gyros incredibly popular over there under the name doner kebab? *NM* Ghavrel - 27/04/2017 06:41:23 AM 512 Views
Spicing isn't the same. At all. Otherwise, I'd be unstoppable. nossy - 27/04/2017 09:05:20 AM 943 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 539 Views
