You folks not in or from Texas...........................................
Always remember............................always...................................
Tex/Mex ain't real Mexican food.
That stuff in New Mexico can be borderline non-Mexican too.
Don't let them try to pass it off on you as such. That's especially true for you folks from the Northern Tier states
Mexican food is very regional by nature.
You get hot and spicy closer to the border.
The further you get away from the border, the less hot and spicy it gets. (Either North or South)
You get down to Southern Mexico and Mexican food isn't even recognizable as Mexican Food. Fried bananas and such... Sheesh!
I will say that NM has some GREAT Mexican food places! If they don't ask you "red or green?" when you order you aren't in a good one.
