Let's face it-you hate being white. You hate white people. The rest of your life you will hate yourself. Correct?

Chicago does not have a plethora of Tex-Mex options (like Austin-style breakfast tacos), but it does have an excellent amount of authentic Mexican taquerias in Rogers Park, Pilsen, Logan Square, etc. Check out LTHForum.com for much better food advice than what you've received here.

Avenger, I have the sneaky suspicion that you're hoping for me say "one hell of a quote" for future conversations. But then again, maybe you're just trying to stick up for cubssoxfan.

First of all, there's a difference between white people and whitebread people. I am white but I'm not whitebread.

Second of all, I am PROUD of my upbringing and where I came from. And growing up, I was surrounded by more black kids than white kids in my neighborhood and my school.

Incorrect. I don't hate myself one bit. I don't like white idiots who call the cops for no reason though.

1)cubssoxfan said nothing wrong.

2)Do you really want to go down that path? I sure hope not.

Wow, you totally misread my comment! No sarcasm was intended, just a friendly comment. Really a round about way of saying, "Hey I like Mexican food too." I knew I should have gone on to say how much better they are when the green chile sauce comes in from NM with BIL. Next time instead of twisting what I say, please ask me "What did you mean by that statement".

I apologize for my original comment. It was un-called for an out of line. Sometimes, it's easy to get carried away on the internet...

Ok, next time I will.

I understand and probably have done the same thing in the past. Thanks for the apology.

I've been to taquerias all around Chicagoland which are filled with Spanish speaking people who appear Hispanic. Am I hallucinating, or do the taquerias hire shills to generate business?

Whats that got to do with the price of tea in china?, Ive been to taquerias filled with exclusively white people, in cities like LA where the population is over 50% hispanic.

Apparently you did not catch my point, which was depending on the location and the clientel the OP may or may not find what they are looking for.
Just because you see a bunch of mexicans eating tacos in a taco shack, does not mean this equates to the place having tex-mex style breakfast.
