Title: Tex Mex blows
Post by: Himu on November 17, 2013, 09:28:41 AM
Went to Chuys last night and I have no clue how places like that are popular: stale rice, burrito is nothing but beans and a little meat in it. How terribly mediocre. Why are they popular? They're shit. I can get the appeal of McDonalds because at least they use more than two ingredients on their burgers.

It has been a while since I've had Cali Mex but I reckon it sucks balls as well. Then again, it does have more fresh ingredients than Tex Mex, which automatically makes it better.

Says the person who thinks Olive Garden is the height of gourmet eating.

Eat at a real Tex Mex eatery next time.

Chuys is just an example, but Tex Mex is still shit.

I like how Rumbler says "eat at a real tex mex eatery sometme" like he's going to counsel a native texan on where to get "real" tex mex

Tex Mex around here totally sucks. Real Mexican is pretty good though.

I have no issue if a place isn't "real" Mexican. I've had my share of "real" Mexican. It isn't always a guarantee for quality. My main concern is taste. Let me get this out of the way, I'm not that picky when it comes to food. But I'd rather eat Taco Bell than many of the options parading as Tex Mex.

Tex mex is 90% guaranteed crap. So easy to get it wrong and so hard to get it right.

I think we can all agree mexican food is usually garbage. bean and rice slop with some fried cheese.

What you are describing is Tex Mex not Mexican. And this is why this Tejano montrosity sucks. Now they have people thinking Tex Mex is actual Mexican.

Nailed it

Plenty of Americanized and authentic Mexican food in Los Angeles and they're pretty much crap compared to other stuff I can easily find in the city

what is the difference between tex mex and mexican

is tex mex those places where all they have is variations of tortillas with beans meat and cheese in them?
Title: Re: Tex Mex blows
Post by: Mupepe on November 17, 2013, 03:15:30 PM
That chart is pretty wrong. Real Mexican also uses sour cream and has big burritos. And real Mexican uses flour tortillas too. Refried beans with lard is also a Mexican thing.

the easiest way to tell if you're eating Tex mex is to order a beef taco and see if it has ground beef. If it does, its Tex mex.

I've eaten real Mexican food before at packing plant towns.  It's a lot better than anything they serve at Taco Bell.  Also I get a shitload of food there for cheap.

Again, it is talking about the difference between Northern and "interior" Mexican food.
isn't angelenos the name for people of Los Angeles?

so I'm not sure where you're getting anything about nortenos from.

Uhh. No? Its showing more Cali mex vs Mexican proper. Even nortenos wouldn't be caught dead eating a hard shell taco or using yellow cheese.

Texmex, authentic mexican, fresh mex, Taco Bell - I don't care as long as I can get Chevy's style salsa.

Extra cilantro just to rub it in all y'all's cilantro hating faces.

I've only had Chuy's once in my life while visiting Orlando. Seemed okay to me. At least they tried new recipes instead of dishing out the same 10 things.

It wasn't as good as most of the local restaurants I went to in San Diego, but it was better than the hole in the wall mexican places I have in Ohio.
