City of Angels...hands down. Alvera Street, taquitos, real frijoles..
Its not Tex-Mex its authentic over the border Mexican Food, with fresh
Salsa. I grew up in LA.
I guess you have to like Tex-Mex.
But yes, if you do, then New Mex and Tex would be ranked high. I however find it different. Not bad just different.
BTW-what is New Mexican??
Albuquerque, by a mile.
Los Angeles' Mexican food I hear is laughable, but it does lack some taste...although that statement is exagerated.
DFW (why is it on there twice? Just put DFW) is alright, San Antonio is pretty good...
You missed El Paso, which HAS AWESOME Mexican food, right up there with Albuquerque.
Although no city compares to real Mexican food, and I'm of Mexican descent and make trips to Mexico quite often so If that tell you what I've experienced.
Houston, I've never tried their Mexican food, and even if I had it wouldn't be enough to make a valid conclusion that it's awesome or sucks as I would of eaten there a whopping 5 times? What I've had is pretty good.
The Baja Mexican food, if respectively different from the rest of Mexico. The Northern food is also different then the Southern food.
So I mean its hard to compare, basically two different cusines.
I haven't tried San Diego Mexican either, but I have eaten Baja. If its anything like I had in Mexico it's alright...
Las Vegas...really? How could you miss El Paso?? Pheonix is not too bad, but If i HAD to rank them.
on the baisis that I rank the ones I know... here is what it would be
1)Albuquerque
2)El Paso
3)all the other Texas bordertowns... do they have it good...
4)San Antonio
5)Dallas Fort Worth (tie)
5)Houston (tie)
6)Pheonix
7)Los Angeles
8)Las Vegas
Can't Rank San Diego.
How can someone actually believe that Los Angeles would have "laughable" Mexican food? It has the largest Mexican community of any city outside of Mexico...sooo what happened then? L.A. only receives Mexicans who can't cook? Talk about laughable.
It's definitely a matter of taste. Remember that Mexico's a big place too, with different styles. I happen to have grown up really liking Tex-Mex style but I now find it generally too heavy these days for my palate, cheese and beef heavy. It does have a cattle-ranching influence.
I was surprised, actually, to learn that fish tacos are traditionally filled with fried fish. I always thought it was grilled, which is what I choose at places like Wahoo's. Maybe it's an age thing. I don't have a weight problem. Also, it's funny because a standard (joking) Mexican complaint is, Why do Americans always make their food so spicy?

A casually joking observation that may have run its course, as Mexican cuisine has come to be taken more seriously. Sort of like how Italian food used to be characterized as overwhelmingly "garlicky". Of course, there's no fear of heat in Mexican dishes--I love heat too--but not everything has to be painful. And it seemed like there was kind of a posturing about spice that was very indulgent and had nothing to do with flavor.
Yeah but you don't call them breakfast burritos unless you're from North Texas. They are called taquito's. Just a heads up.
you call breakfast burritos taquitos?
breakfast burritos are breakfast burritos and taquitas are tightly rolled tortillas with meat in side fried, some call em rolled tacos too or taqui'TOS

No, we don't call them that... Spade was probably pulling someone's leg.
We call them breakfast tacos, even if they are rolled.
