Is Mexican food your favorite?

[FelixDeCat]

Its seems as though, next to hot dogs and apple pie, fajitas and margarita are quite the norm for most parts of the US. I think there are more Mexican restaurants than any other in this country than other type of ethnic food.

What do you think?

I had tacos 3 times last week from 3 different vendors.

Tacos are one of gods perfect foods (and by taco I mean small tiny ass tortilla, al pastor/carne asada, cilantro, onion, salsa)

I like mexican food, but I like chinese/japanese/thai food more.

EDIT: Wow, I just broke my timewarp hymen.

Mexican food is about the only good thing that ever came across that border...

I LOVES me some GOOD Mexican food.
(none of the fast-food "mexican" qualifies as GOOD Mexican food...even EPL)

One of my favorites is Milanesa...essentially carne asada breaded and deep fried. MMMMM-MMM-MMMM-MMMMMMM!

 

[lxskllr]

I love it. Definitely my favorite food.

I don't care for Mexican food.
West-mex or tex-mex or whatever, sure.

I enjoy some good Hispanic food. :thumbsup:

most Americans, unless traveled, have never had real Mexican food in the same way they've probably never had true <insert ethnicity here> food unless you're lucky enough to live in a large city with an ethnic population. Americanized Mexican is awful but I love real Mexican food.

 

[thegimp03]

I like it, but wouldn't say it's my favorite. Mostly because I typically feel like shit after eating it.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I like mexican food, but I like chinese better.

Edit: And by mexican and chinese I mean whatever Americanized versions of each I've been eating all my life at any of the cheap and delicious restaurants scattered liberally across the country.

This. I honestly don't mind some of the americanized stuff but the real thing is awesome.

Whatever. I've had authentic Mexican, and it's garbage to me.
That's why I made the distinction, doofus

American food is #1

Ugh. What I consider "American" food, I find to be almost inedible*. Bob Evans restaurant sells "American" food. Meat and vegetables cooked until they no longer have a texture.

*Yes, I'm ignoring all the regional delicacies. We have some delicious food, but I consider typical American to be mid west.

 

[Gunslinger08]

I like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, and rice and beans. Guess that's tex-mex.

 

[Arcadio]

Nothing beats Colombian.

 

[JulesMaximus]

No.

I like it a lot but I'd have to give the nod to Italian and French foods over Mexican food.

 

[KeithTalent]

No, defniitely not.

Disagree. Tex-mex can be very very good.

blasphemy! tacos sans cheez is a crime.


i love mexican food, but its not my fave. ill usually get chinese over mexican, and italian is up on my list. its probably a three way tie between those.

by far there are more mexican places to choose from tho, not sure if its due to being so close to the border and having a huge amount of mexican types living here or not... i dont recall seeing tons of mexican places like here when i travel.

I'll have hardshell tacos with cheese but on real tacos, if there's cheese = never going back there again

I love Mexican, but it certainly isn't my favorite.
