I've been to Denver a lot, I must have missed something.

I had the best Mexican food in New Mexico and El Paso. I really like the red and green chile peppers. Huevos Rancheros with red chile sauce, Enchiladas with green chiles, and sopapillas are are excellent there.
LA definitely has the best breadth and quality of Mexican food. All regions are represented and at very high quality. The only thing LA doesn't have is broad representation of regional mexican american cuisines like tex-mex, new mexico-style, etc. If you're just talking the cuisines of the nation of Mexico (and not the broad term "mexican food" which for most people includes mexican-american cuisines) then LA takes the cake. But everyone has their own preference--personally my favorite thing that falls under the "mexican food" umbrella are SF Mission-style burritos. Not authentically Mexican, but I love them all the same.
The food in New Mexico is great, but the regional food there almost deserves it's own category separate from traditional Mexican food.
Los Angeles is great because of the size and diversity of the Mexican population from a lot of different regions of Mexico, you can get different Mexican cooking styles from different regions like Oaxaca, the Yucatan, Pueblo, Sinaloa, Veracruz, and so on. Los Angeles isn't famous for an Americanized hybrid or different style of Mexican food, it's great for authentic Mexican food. I've never been to Texas, so I'm not sure how it compares.

If anybody can find a better *all beef burrito* than the ones *TITOS TACOS* makes in Santa Monica, lemme know. They are so good, we even freeze them (a dozen at a time) then put them in my briefcase and take them to Germany or Switzerland where we used to live ...
Try to explain to the customs people why the side of your briefcase has frost on them.
Since we live *back in the USA* now, a trip to Titos Tacos is like a pilgrimage.
Nine hours to get a good burrito !!!
We do have another favoured place outside ABQ, in some small town right outside ABQ.
In the end, hard to say where the best Mexican food is available.
All a personal taste/preference for sure !!!

I don't like the places that stuff fat burritos with beans and rice, I can do without the Mission burritos. In California I really like the fish tacos. I was hoping somebody would go more into more depth about other regional cuisines of Mexico that offer something different than the usual Gringo restaurant that might be found in LA or Houston or some other place. What kind of regional Mexican food is out there and what does it entail?
