Thaddeus Smith Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 We have those peppered throughout the area here. The one which was closest gave me the shits the first time I ate there and I never went back. They've also since closed.. maybe "Tex Mex" is a novelty around the rest of the country, but such food is hardly unique here and it doesn't require much effort to find good examples of such food.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Fast food places similar to Del Taco will insist that no other Mexican food be sold in the center where they are located. My brain will not wrap around this. I loved Baja Fresh (in its heyday before they fell off of a cliff) and still eat at Chipolte about 7 or 8 times a year and enjoy it, but I would never think of putting Taco Bell, Del Taco or any of that other manufactured crap in my body. Yet somehow they think that this is a direct competitor. Like I am thinking hmmm, I'd like a salad with beans and pretty tasty meat at Chipolte, or no wait, how about some mystery meat with a pound of salt and chemical flavoring, yea, I prefer that. It's not like if there is only a Taco Bell or Del Taco that is where we will eat. Keep driving. Needless to say, we do not eat fast food (but I do like several 'quick serve' counter service restaurants. Rubios has great shrimp tacos!). A friend of my wife and her husband were shocked that she didn't know any of the fast food chains. I think they felt sorry for her (she is missing out on type 2 diabetes). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll refrain from further comment on those type of places @jimjimbo Did you get to Ricki's? The pulled meat tacos I had there were great. Soft fried corn tortilla. I could barely wrap the tortilla around all the meat. The salsas were good and fresh made. The green had some bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would listen to the radio, snacking on a plate of cheese and peppers (all she knew was they were hot). Then, in the middle of the night she would hear him in the bathroom banging on the wall with a shoe and cussin' up a storm as he did his business. "... icewater bidet..." , I laughed out loud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 As I chew down a prime rib sandwich... to a certain extent, all of our food is Mexican. ... by proximity. This was Mexico until the GadsdenPurchase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Locally, Taco Y Taco makes great street tacos, Rubios has great fish and shrimpo tacos, and Juan's Flaming Fajitas are really good too. I love good Mexican food. We just went to Mexico and I gorged on mussels, shrimp and guacamole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
