He claims to like Mexican food

The immigrants serve great mexican food. Chicago has great mexican food hidden everywhere, from almost all styles.

The more run down a taco shop looks, the better the food is.

pleb

The Mexican food in NYC is pretty good these days, I'm sure it's the same for any other city with a lot of Mexicans

Mexican restos in AZ are shit. I'm guessing because the Mexicans that know how to cook are all illegal

There's probably a lot of Tex Mex Style food there

>Faggot Californians thinking the world revolves around them.

How dem water restrictions going?

I'm sure there are Poblanos in LA

its does.and i just filed my moms pool so no drought son. as a busboy in a mexican restaurant let me tell you the mexicans spit in the food. i catch them all the time doing it.

enjoy.

Brah SD, or at least Northern SD, has fucking terrible Mexican food compared to LA

San Diego needs to explain why their guacamole is runny like water. And also why it's almost neon green.

>Roberto's
I eat this when I visit vegas to see family. It's overrated and nothing special.

As for here, the hole in the wall dives I go to have open kitchens. Sure the ingredients are questionable to begin with (though I've never gotten sick) but they definitely don't spit in it. I'm legitimately more convinced the burrito joint I go to is more simply there to launder money for a more lucrative, less legal business than slinging up cheap ass mexican food.

Also mai girlfriend is a hot latina with a nice ass. She makes sure I got an "in" when we go to the mexican places so that they don't take advantage of my white boy gringo privilege. AND I get to drink all the water I want.

Gonna have to agree with you there. I live out in Kane county (suburbs of Chicago) and the amount of good Mexican food is staggering. Everything from dirt cheap taquerias to trendy places that'll clean your wallet out

north county is known for shitty mexican food. Oc has better but you could just drive south.

i dont think overrated as opposed to more popular. I eat at santanas the most because of proximity.

Lares, Santa Monica.

Get the molé.

Colorado here, our Mexican food is better.

>cali-mex better than tex mex
shiggydiggydoo
yeah no.

Yeah yes.

But that's not the kind of food you find there. It's all cheseburger Mexican, leaning toward too much greasy meat, cheese and flour tortillas. It's really just a marginal step up from TexMex.

The days when SoCal could claim some authority over Mexican food in the US pretty much ended when Green Day stopped making hits.

>california
>real mexican food
1/10, got me to respond

Also Colorado. We made Mexican better with green chili.

Fuck yeah we do.

>california better than texas in any regard
Yeah thats why you get droves of people escaping texas moving to california and not the other way around

>implying Arizona-mex isn't the GOAT derivation of Mexican food
smdhay, tbqhwyf

Los Angeles has the best Mexican food. Chicago and San Diego are #2.

casitamex.com/media-article/a-journey-through-mexican-cuisine

You won't be finding this anywhere outside of LA

ive had mexican food in mexico, california, texas, arizona, new mexico, colorado, seattle, portland and still the best ive had was from maxwell street market in chicago

>LA, SD
>Mexican

Build wall

maxwell is a poor mans olympic mercado

This

Also fuck white Anglo milk shitters

Been to mexico. All the best restaurants are french and italian. actual mexican places are iffy as hell. Prefer americanized stuff to lukewarm conchinita pibil and e coli infested salsa verde

Is that some cali' 'za?

LA isn't just cheeseburger Mexican, there are plenty of authentic style restaurants

>he's a picky eater

Most of the ones I've been to were that cowboy style, though, favoring flour tortillas, liberal use of cheese and crema and leaning toward beef as the preferred meat. That's the least interesting kind of Mexican food, served on the warm plate with a side of rice and refired beans. The couple Baja places I went to were more exciting, but even that doesn't compare to Puebla or Oaxaca style food.

This. With the exception of Baja places, California mexican food sucks. And I've lived in both CA and TX, and eating in numerous mexican places in AZ and NM on my runs between those two states. TX, NM, and AZ have waaaaay better mexican food than CA.

Also this. I fucking love Oaxacan food.

>"I'm from ______ and I'm going to shit on everything outside of where I'm from" the thread
Do you guys enjoy having this argument every day?

>any sort of food bought in LA
no thanks

he loves hispanics!

>catch them doing it

I bet you don't say a word to them you little faggot.

Pic related is a Pambazo I made a few weeks ago.

I bought dried guajillo chilis, stewed them for two hours with a quartered onion and a whole habanero, and blended the mix in a food processor until I had a nice sauce.
Then I par boiled some potatoes, browned some chorizo, and added the potatoes to the meat.
I filled a telera roll with the meat and potato mixture then dipped both sides in the chili mix and pan fried it.

How'd I do for a white boy?

you burned the shit out of that. this is one of the reasons domestic violence happens.

That's not burned that's what happens when you dear something that is covered in a dark red sauce.

you would get the belt if I came home to that.

>implying I didn't grow up here
>implying fucking tourists like you haven't ruined everything in my lifetime

Things that used to be dirt cheap in Southern California before you bandwagoners turned them into meme food:
>Avocado
>Rice bomb American burritos
>Menudo
>Tri Tip
>Al Pastor meats
>Mole
Pretty much everything that used to be delicious poverty food is now dead and gone. I've got Tamales left (poor old spics still sell them door to door here) and that's it. Once that's gone it's over.

How the fuck did Menudo become expensive Jesus H Christ.

If you guys live in SoCal or are going to Las Vegas sometime in the future, go to Tacos El Gordo and get the adobada tacos.

There's one in San Diego, and another off the strip at Vegas.

Best tacos I've ever had.

you just gotta look harder
>calling people spics

so what do you think about NYC Mexican food, if you've been there? It's mostly Puebla/DF with the occasional Oaxaca.

>"pambazo"
>burnt and dry

>>calling people spics
Ok I'll just call ever brown person I see a Mexican when they aren't.

>California cuckolds

You're right however if you've never been to at least tiajuana you still have no right to talk.

The tacos in certain parts of Mexico are so fuckin good you'd swear they recently killed the cow for the meat out in the back.

not taking this bait about Tex-Mex

he's just mad that Los Angeles is a culinary wasteland and Austin and Houston are the new hotness

You can't shit on SoCal for having so many illegal Mexican immigrants and then claim there's no good Mexican food made by Mexicans.

What restriction? I use as much water as I ever have.

Sorry Jew York but there is no way there are better Mexican restaurants in New York City than there are in San Antonio. Maybe more pretentious and expensive, but not better. New York Mexicans are pochos.

>California completly and utterly cucked by Texas and Florida

>In maximum giga damage control mode

just because I like Mexican food doesn't mean I want go to Mexican

kek, do you even know anything about NYC's Mexican community?

The term is "Hispanic", you shitkicking hillbilly

Lmao shitskins and leftists in urban cuckcenteres

Pastor with oxacan cheese

Are Californians taught to be smug pricks as a mandatory class from birth somewhere between diversity and whiteness: the evils of western civilization or the theory of professional victimhood? Never ever have I met a group of people who will shit on everything and everyone not California, but none of you fucks ACTUALLY live there anymore because ahem *in a lispy progressive voice* "it's just to expensive" or "I moved for this GREAT job opportunity" aka a job. Please stay there and let the rest of have some peace and quiet.

Tell me

never seen melted oxacan cheese

This is why we're fat

do you think all states are equal or something?

just because we love being in the objectively best state doesnt mean we are being 'smug'

Then why have you flooded Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Texas, Arizona and Nevada? Because while California is exceptionally beautiful, it's actually a pretty shitty place to live. Your stupid progressive politics has cucked you, yet like most progressives you somehow manage an air of superiority while endorsing a distopic state.

Fuck off and fall into the ocean.

This one is steak, bacon, onion and bell peper.

>>>steak alambre.

>california is actually shitty guys
>s-s-stop pretending you like it there

>he lives in badtexas / badflorida

Oh boy nothing starts a riot like getting into Hispanic factions. Particularly Mexican factions.

I'm surprised we haven't heard from New Mexico yet. They make funny tamales there, but they are still good. As much as I think Tex-Mex is great we should all learn from each other.

California is objectively the best state at saying they're the best state.

Not to throw gasoline on the fire, but OP thinks LA and San Diego are the be all and end all of California Mexican. Anybody who knows anything knows that's not true. Obviously the Gay Area is a huge center for Mexican cuisine, but I've had great meals in Fresno, Sacramento, and even Reno.

Obviously I respect OP's assertion that LA/SD are quintessential Mexican cuisine cities but there is so much more in his own backyard lol

> implying Texas isn't full of immigrant families who open up restaurants.

And its the real authentic stuff. Commiefornia is all Americanized Mexican food because of all the hippies there who want to seem chic but can't leave their comfort zones.

>Los Angeles or San Diego
Chicano food.

To answer the question you ask me, I think there are some legit places in NYC, but they're few and far between. Unfortunately, NYC suffers from what I call "east coast syndrome" when it comes to a lot of food, which is that people tend to water it down to suit a comfortable palate, while still proclaiming authenticity. That's not a dig, there's hundreds of fantastic places to eat in NYC, but RIGHT NOW, not enough people are willing to really explore the full range of flavors and textures of mexican food, except for the Hispanics themselves and the minority of people who really enjoy exploring new things (hipsters not included).
Don't be offended, this can be said of lots of people and places. It's basically a regional distinction. The only reason Chicago isn't in the same boat as far as Mexican food is because Bayless opened people's eyes, and then there was a desire for it, and plenty of immigrants willing to provide.

This. It makes me giggle when people think that there's only TexMex in TX. It's fucking chock full of illegals, and a large portion of them work in food service.
Only north and northeast Texas suffer from a lack of authentic mexican food.

I was with you till you mentioned Reno. God, what a shithole.

I'm pretty sure that's not what he is asserting. If anything, Texas has more old native Spanish bloodlines than California.

My assertion is that being fresh off the boat doesn't make your restaurant more authentic.

Mmm I regret saying that a little bit too, but I used to live there and I managed to find a couple of places that weren't totally cucked like Del Taco-tier garbage. I didn't mean to suggest it was a culinary hotbed

Obviously if you are in Reno and you want to see the best Mexican-American chefs doing their thing...you go to a big casino

And there's nothing wrong with that either, some of the top casinos in Reno are damn good, they are just corporate, and I think this is a discussion about mom and pop/independent Mexican style

And nobody can match the buying power of Nevada casinos in terms of marisco, not in Nevada!

As a 7th generation American of Spanish descent (De Leon Colony and Balli families of Texas in my family history)...I can tell you that if you think that only immigrants can make good Tex-Mex, then you know less than you think you know, and don't understand the roots of the cuisine.

The reason we have Tex-Mex cuisine has nothing to do with 1st or 2nd generation immigrants -- not even 3rd or 4th generation immigrants.

Please go study the history of Texas and Mexico.

Underrated post, would pay money for this content

I think you are right and have an insightful idea

I already replied to this post, but to be clear, it's hard to even get an authentic Mexican dish in most Texas cities, let alone cities like Nacogdoches or Tyler or Huntsville. Authentic Mexican food would surprise most people, it would remind them of a French restaurant more than anything.

People misuse the term TexMex to mean any Americanized form of Mexican food

When I say Mexican, I don't actually mean Mexican food.

I mean Tex-Mex. Mexican food is shit. Except their pork. Jesus fuck, the things Mexicans can do to a pig is black magic.

Well you can say that about anywhere, you may have to go into Mexican neighborhoods to get the best flavors. But that's not an issue
Aren't there a lot of Mexicans in Tyler?
There are many immigrants in NYC straight from Puebla, Mexico City, and surrounding regions. They're a relatively new community too, there are hardly any New York born Mexicans over the age of 25.
pleb

No, that's burnt and dry and you put chopped tomato on it like a hamburger-eating idiot instead of cream and queso fresco.

>french fries or rice in your burritos

rice isn't authentic?

No, gringo

Authentic is a stupid word.

SoCal, Arizona/Sonora, and New Mexico do burritos, never put rice in them.

Nor-Cal (which is also what Chipotle is based on) do.

Personally I think no rice, but I'm from AZ originally.
