Tex Mex is shit.

Americanized chinese food is the same tier as tex mex.

I know what tex mex is.

What.

Get out.

PLEASE.

You clearly haven't been to a higher end Asian food joint. Those don't exist for Tex Mex. Never mind the fact that the average Chinese joint is far more edible than Tex Mex.

I used to not be a huge fan of Tex Mex until I had some really good food near Plano, TX. Probably not really known for being a Tex Mex city but it's way better than the rest of the country.

I still prefer real Mexican food though, a lot more subtle and more variety I think.

Nothing has been said about Americanization or authentencity. I don't care if something has been Americanized. I care if something is GOOD. Do you really think pizza for instance, is it in its purest form in America? No! And who cares? Pizza is great! The same goes for things like ramen. Cup ramen is not the same thing as real ramen you'd get at a ramen place. But it is still great.

Tex Mex looks and tastes like crap.

I don't care how many threads I make on it!

But that is the core of Tex mex. Tex mex mostly IS chain mexican food. Non chain Mexican is usally not Tex Mex. Are there really any non chain Tex mex places? Tex mex is the most popular style of Mexican food in America.

tex mex just doesn't taste good. I was never raised on it (since my mom's family is Mexican) so maybe that's why I never acquired a taste. I don't care that it's americanized. I just don't it to be very good. I won't say it's disgusting because I can definitely eat it. I would just never be like "Oh hey! let's hit up Chuys!"

Well that shit is definitely tex mex there are more authentic things available on the menu there but ...

I wouldn't call Torchy's tex mex. It's not authentic but it uses proper flank steak instead of ground beef in their tacos. They might also have some crazy shit on top but it's not covered in slightly spicy gravy and melted velveeta so it ain't tex mex.

Chevy's salsa

It doesn't matter if I go to Chevys or the little hole in the wall Mexican place we hit up twice a week for lunch. Our Mexican here is basically Tex Mex. Just like all our Chinese places are not real Chinese food. And I'll be honest, I'm fine with that. Cause real Chinese food?

I'm good with my tso's kthx. I'm sure real Mexican is delicous, but I order a tortilla with cheese and chicken. That's it. TexMex is designed for picky assholes like me.

I really only like Chevys for their salsa, corn cakes and margaritas. It's overpriced and I'd rather go to my little lunch place where Pepe teases me and shames me into speaking Spanish.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #49 on:** March 27, 2014, 07:04:37 PM »

There's this Mexican joint around the corner from where I live, and their shit is worse than Taco Bell IMO. I asked for black beans instead of refried beans, and the dude looked at me like I was crazy. I can get refried beans anywhere, motherfucker. Bland cheese and meat in everything, lettuce and tomato thrown on top like it's a garnish or something. Owned and operated by Mexicans, too, smh. I hate that place, but I have to go because my fiance is 100% cac and has a fit if anything is spicier than black pepper.

My favorite place is called La Costa. You can get the regular old bland shit if you want, but if you dig a bit deeper into the menu you can find the stuff that doesn't taste like hamburger helper in a tortilla. That's where I get my picadillo.

good god cup ramen is like eating styrofoam in dirty water after eating the real thing. the quality gap is fucking staggering and is almost the same damn situation as this tex mex rant you're on.

Pretty sure. But one thing I do with instant ramen is make my own dish. So the Tex Mex comparison is pretty off. You can buy instant ramen and make some damn good food using traditional cooking methods. May not be real ramen or even pho level, but still damn good.

There's lots of little locally-owned restaurants here which I think would probably be classified more as 'Tex-Mex' or Mexican/fusion than straight-up Mexican (the tacos look like the ones Mupepe posted above, usually with some more offbeat ingredients like duck or bulgogi or andouille sausage, usually owned by white people... some of which are actually really good.

The only place I've ever seen a Chevy's is in Times Square. I went there once, not really knowing it was a chain... the chips and salsa weren't bad, the food itself was solid but not spectacular, I mean there are much worse chains out there and I'd rather eat there than Chilis or aforementioned Applebees.
