OneMetropolis is on a distinguished road
Los Angeles considering the large Mexican population.


But still San Diego just might be in a close tie with L.A. or mybe san diego is better overall I don't know really it just should be SoCal all together for best mexican food.

I don't know about Miami, but Bradenton/Sarasota/Palmetto have these sandwiches called a "Cuban". It's like pressed and grilled on the outside. Those are killer.

One thing I think we all can agree on... it sure ain't Denver. I mean, I love my hometown and can't wait to move back, but all the Mexican restaurants I've tried there suck. Bad. ...with the exception of Jack 'n Grill, which was started by a former ABQ resident, and Little Anitas, which is an Albuquerque chain-- hence, proof that even outside of Albuquerque Albuquerque has the best Mexican food. And btw, Albuquerque girls are HOT.

But don't worry McGowdog-- I'm still going to give Pueblo another shot next time I go there. Or maybe at least Alamosa-- with all the chiles grown down there there's got to be something phenomenal. And not to muck up old s*** again, but for the record, Mi Ranchito WAS good-- it just didn't blow me away like I expected.

anyways this thread is getting out of hand, people are getting offended over mexican food, how stupid.
I think I know a litttle bit about Mexican food.
Being that I am mexican/american, not just hispanic; I worked as a chef in Los Angeles Mexican restaurant (and Im not talking about your corner chipotle restaurant or corner taco stand, rather a premier restaurant); and being that I am mexican/american, ive eaten mexican food just about every day in my life.

Like I said, I highly doubt that there is anything in the New Mexico mexican cuisine that puts it beyond Los Angeles. Mainly because Los Angeles has a much more diverse market from mexico including mexicans from every region in mexico, including Chihuaha and Veracruz (where jalapenos is a primary ingredient in just about everything they cook). Although the majority of the mexican population in LA is probably from Michoacan and Jalisco (central pacific region), judging from the restaurants and people ive met, there are still alot of people from the other regions.

Be that as it may, I know of a ton of places in LA that serve mexican food from the northern region. And simply because one is hispanic, more precisely mexican, does not make that person an expert in mexican food. I know people that cannot differentiate mexican food based on its region. They think mexican food is plainly mexican. Kinda like saying american food is american food, even though some regions are clearly distinct like the south versus the west.

Can we please get Tucson added to the poll?

I don't know how you add Las Vegas and Dallas, but don't add Tucson.

Well just pretend the second Dallas in the poll is Tucson.

Wesside! That's the same thing I stated when I made original Mexican Food claims in a Colorado thread; the fact that there are hundreds of types of Mexican food. I'd have to agree that LA is so vast that they probably do have a taste of everything. Lucky Bastards!

I used to live in the Valley and it just seemed like we ate good for cheap. I couldn't eat Mexican food every day. I like other stuff too.

In my neck of the woods, we favor a certain type of Mexican food over another; New Mexican style to Tex Mex, let's say. But hey, if someone's gonna serve me some good Tex Mex, I'll tear it up! (Inner Cover from ZZ TOP album comes to mind... with that beer foam dripping down the glass... the guac and the sour cream and the food and the peppers!)

Dog is hungry now. How many Pueblos could you fit into LA? Let's see... 150!!!!!!!

Cheese Crisp


and homeade Salsa anybody?


I ain't no cook, so I need something simple. I do know how to eat Mexican food though, this much I know.
