(2,561 posts)Sorry but the truth hurts you, but Tex-Mex is crappy food.
Tex-Mex isn’t in any shape or form Mexican food,
It just isn’t. Tex-Mex food is Gringo food. Period.
Hell I can still remember decades ago that extremely popular
Tex-Mex restaurant in Texas…. PANCHO’S Buffet !
YUCK YUCK YUCK!!
That Tex-Mex Pancho’s had all-you-could-eat, you would ‘raise’ that tiny flag
at your table to get ‘more’ of the Tex-Mex mess,
Disgusting food.
El Fenix. Another over-rated crappy Gringo food Tex-Mex restaurant chain.
A LOT of dumb Anglos LOVED that slop.
El Chico. The same. Crap Gringo Tex-Mex restaurant chain.
Now there are many many Tex-Mex restaurants in Texas,
Lots and lots and lots of CRAPPY food.
I even know of a few Anglo-type Chicanos, that eat that crappy
Tex-Mex. They grew up speaking English usually. One Texas Tejanos I know
was married to a bimbo blonde Anglo who couldn’t cook — so he never realized
how shitty that Tex-Mex he was eating was.
There is a chain in Texas, Mi Cocina, lots of locations, it’s ‘ok’,
but like a lot of chain restaurants, even with same menu, what locations
you go to matters whether it’s really fresh, not just sitting around.
Now some Tex-Mex restaurants in Texas are serving real MEXICAN food
along with their Tex-Mex crap, like Ninfa’s in Houston.
Ninfa’s is OK. Fair only
Goode Co. Kitchen, is well so-so, I do NOT care for their food at all.
Pappasito’s Cantino, well YUCK! I ate there decades ago, and it was crappy
Tex-Mex, and I was forced to go there again about 10 years ago, because
that’s where someone planned our group to eat there, AGAIN the food was
at best BLAH!
I stopped going to Mi Cocino years and years ago.
There are lot better REAL MEXICAN FOOD restaurants in Texas,
although not that many in Texas.
It’s shocking just how few there are, the-really authentic GOOD Mexican restaurants in Texas, annd are hard to find in Texas. While in California, I find a LOT more really good real Mexican restaurants.
