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. See, that's just the deal. Thinking that "red or green" thing is "Mexican". Strictly a New Mexican thing. Never been asked that in a "Real Mexican Restaurant". Burritos are meant to be picked up and eaten, like a sammich. Portable for lunch, wrapped in foil and set on the manifold of the backhoe to warm up. That kinda thing. Be awfully sloppy if it was covered in "red or green" and leaked on the hot manifold. A proper example, and I just happen to like them a little crispy. Just made them for lunch the other day from some tri tip I had on the grill the other day. They were Yummy. PS. Barry, you know I like pulling chains sometimes. Them real southern Mexicans, they're more like Central Americans and so is their food. Stihl? Ice in the wiskey? Beans or no beans?

Would you believe the best Mexican Food place where I live here, you have to specify re-fried beans with your order? Otherwise they show up just out of the bean pot.

Some places ask "rancho or refried" I guess some folks don't like 'em all mashed up with lard and cheese and all that good stuff that makes 'em better to eat!

The free $$$ thing I got laid off from a 10 year employment at start of 2012. Couldn't buy a job at the time. Previously I looked down on ebt/foodstamps. With 3 kids, and a wife that's never really worked, the few months of unemployment and ebt saved our butts. I'm not so judgemental now as I'm not in that individuals shoes, and have no clue what there life is like. Besides all that, wth would anybody eat a drive through burrito. Keep some Vienna sausage in your glove box, ain't no gloves in there anyways.

Sounds like a midnight experience I had at Wendys. I'm the ONLY person in the place...took 7 minutes to get waited on..took another 7 minutes to get the food.
Got my receipt with a number to call if you had feedback..I called. Told the woman on the other end what I just said here and added.." you know what's coming next...."

Friend made me stop at the newish Wendy's in Belgrade. I was impressed thought it would take forever as the drive-through was packed...in and out in less than ten minutes with correct, hot food. Ymmv

You snobs. What kind of burrito goes best with one of them Single Malt beverages you like? Carnitas? Carne Asada? Beans and Rice? I've never done that research. A 32 oz High Life works well with most burritos though. Glad to see you occasionally partake of a pedestrian beverage.

Horses for courses. It's pretty good with spicy boiled crawfish too.
I didn't mind a Classic 60s formula Schlitz either when it was around.

At Allsups, I personally prefer the chimichanga to their burritos.

Why in the world go into these places knowing the service is bad, the food sucks and you risk getting who knows what done to your food. No thanks.

I don't have the patience for that nonsense. If I haven't ordered whatever within 5 minutes, I'm done and gone. Period. Drives the wife nuts, but I don't have any patience for poor service any more.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
