Why don't Mexican buffets exist?

That's bullshit ... so tell me which cuisine you think is diverse.

Texmex =/= Mexican cuisine

I eat at the India Bistro near the Whole Foods daily on weekdays. Join me.

It's more whitewashed, but I go to El Torito's sunday brunch special.

They have a taco bar, enchiladas, chorizo con papas, sauteed plantains, menudo, ceviche, flan, beans, and a shit ton of basic tier (but not texmex) food.

I give it a 6.5 out of 10. Not amazing, but still crave it every once in a while.

A lot of them are really similar imo. That's why 'American food' sort of constitutes a number of different styles. Things like pancakes and hamburgers are quintessentially American, but they obviously have roots outside of the country.

I do think mexican food could be made into a buffet, but I don't think it would be a great buffet. For 5 dollars, you can eat a burrito from a truck that's so big you won't eat for the rest of the day. What more do you fucking need?

>I went to one in the Des Moines Iowa area once.

It was alright but not amazing.
And people made a mess out of the stuff trying to serve themselves.

I think I ate nine tamales though.
They were remarkably good.

I actually had Mexican buffet in a Montreal syrup club.

Mexicans have always given out huge portions. There was a time when Mexico was the fattest country.

sadly almost non-existent, now.

The point of a buffet is to try out many different things and eat as much as you want.

this post is so wrong I don't even know where to begin

Because I'd load whatever up with beans and blast out their windows with my giga wind breaker attack.

t. butthurt spics. This is why we need a wall.

Not a single counter argument. The basic construct of every mexican dish is literally the same thing. Tortilla, seasoned meat, vegetables. It's literally just how you plate it that makes the difference.

There was one here once called Que Pasa, but Dinosaur BBQ bought their lease out. Sucks. I miss that place. Dinosaur BBQ isn't too bad.

This. If you have tried one mexican dish you have tried them all pretty much.

You can't counter argue with a close minded alt-right NEET who is too stupid to simply google mexican cuisine and see the incredible variety not only across regions but within regions as well.

You're right, Mexico needs a wall to keep douchebags like you, the prototypical ignorant ugly american out. Don't you have a drumpf circlejerk worship ceremony to attend today?

...

They do exist.

>only eat Mexican streetfood
>complain that everything has tortillas

Guess that Means everything in the US is some kind of meat, sauce and cheese with some form of bread

What kind of seasoned meat? What kind of tortilla? What kind of cheese, etc.

More pertinent question gentlemen, why are Mexicans so fucking hot?

...

Obviously you only eat Americanized Mexican food

You know, that's actually a good question and I wonder why mexican buffets aren't more popular. Not even here in Mexico.
So many things could go into it
>chiles rellenos
>tamales
>gorditas
>sopes
>all types of mole
>empanadas
>pozole
>chilaquiles
>the usual picadillo/salsa verde/asado/pibil/adobada dishes you eat at home

>Beyond that Mexican food has no variety

Even Veeky Forums can't keep out the /pol/acks.

Truly we are in decline.

You forgot about the rotting corn and chocolate sauce they pull out when they're feeling fancy but beyond that this is a solid description.

Gringo expectations for Mexican range from """chili powder""" ground beef (flyover) to decent dry barbecue (average) to shellfish ceviche (virtue-signaling socalite). See the idiotic poltard upthread. All protein, all the time, secondary cheese, veg or starch as small flavor enhancers.

All of these are really fucking expensive compared to the calrose>greens>leeks and broccoli>literally any pork cut of Chinese or the basmati>yam or potato>farmer's cheese>probably no meat at all of Indian.

A cuisine with cheap meat means a cuisine with prominent meat means a cuisine that's fucking expensive in regions more suited for traditional farms than ranching.

I've been to several Mexican restaurants that have lunch buffets

>gets triggered when someone says that mexican food has no variety
>immediately insults american food for lack of variety

Actually, when you put it like that it seems pretty obvious to me.

Most of those dishes are too elaborate to be successful buffet food. Chinese buffets work because you can make giant batches of noodles, rice and fried chicken quickly, dump them onto trays and replace them once they run out.

Chiles rellenos, mole, cochinita, etc. take too much time to keep up the pace, whereas gorditas, sopes and other fried corn antojitos die in seconds once they hit the counter, they need to be eaten immediately.

This is why Mexican street food works so well the way it does: people sit down on the street, have their portions cooked in front of them and eat them the second they're ready.
