If ya want good Mexican food just look at the places where there are City workers trucks and CPL and Police, Game Warden trucks and you would never find a parking space type of place and thats it

My mom was from El Paso, my dad was from Sonora, old Mexico. Nine kids, and we all grew up eating a steady diet of albondigas, home made flour tortillas, enchiladas, tacos and tostadas. Beef and chicken were the meats of choice but my mom turned out chile verde with the best of them. Tamales were made once a year, at Christmas...and they were made by the hundreds and frozen for later eating. Mexican rice and frijoles refritos accompanied meals 5 days out of 7. One other thing we ate a lot of, especially weekend mornings or for lunches, chorizo con huevos....One thing drove my mother crazy, anyone using American cheese in Mexican dishes. My aunt would do it, and man, when we got out of earshot, you shoulda heard my mother questioning my tia's genetic antecedents and culinary abilities.

Speaking of Mesoamerican @clob94 , the boy is back home for summer from Georgia Tech and what's the first thing he wanted me to do? Make tamales....well I put his ass to work and now we've got about 6 dozen tamales in the freezer....after we ate our fill yesterday...

My best friend/brother is a 6'4 black man that weighs about 360 on a light day. He is also a very very successful business man. Played football at Howard University and got an MBA at John Hopkins. He travels all over the U.S. and every time he gets back to San Antonio, all he will eat is Tex-Mex. He refuses to eat any thing else. As he puts it, he can get good Chinese back East, he gets Great Italian in New York, he eats at the finest steak houses. Oh and he lives in DC. But only San Antonio, can offer him Mexican. He goes to Vegas regularly and to LA at least once a month, but it's all about the San Antonio, Tex-Mex for him.
