I live in Eugene, OR and finally found a "decent" Mexican place, but I still miss TexMex. I think my main complaint is the weird reddish orange sauce they put on everything when it should have chile con carne the way God intended.
What is your Mexican order?

Yes that's what it is! I haven't been out there in a couple years but I usually make it a point to stop by there when I do!
You're late to the game on this racist, but more importantly unfunny joke.

Mexican is a nationality, not a race. [/internet people]
It's a nationality, not a food either. The title of this thread has confused me since it was posted.maroon barchetta said:Brian Earl Spilner said:

Of course, people who say "I'm eating McDonalds today" sound confusing as I imagine them sitting down to eat an entire McDonalds restaurant.

Ordering at a place I haven't been before, it's cheese enchiladas. If those are bad there is no point in trying anything else.
Beef puffy tacos…when made correctly, they are awesome!

Appears to be a San Antonio thing.
Very much a San Antonio thing. Interesting read on their history: https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/the-delicate-history-of-the-puffy-taco/

Well, I like the Steak Chimichanga, but that is at one place close by. At my regular place, chicken is better.
Caro's restaurant in RGC has had them since Pancho Villa was a corporal, they make it a big deal about their tacos and they are really good.Quote:

Also the venerable and very much missed Palmetto Inn of SPI and Harlingen, had a place in McAllen too way back, had them and they were excellent.
A few other places in South Texas and Mex have them as well.

Telltale sign that someone hasn't been to Mexico outside of tourist towns.
I just read that article on the "puffy taco". They reference CDMX and a "gordita inflada" a variation of fried tortillas are what make puffy tacos. I am not that old, but growing up in Mex, CDMX to be precise, every quesadilla I had was a variation of a puffy taco for the most part, some pinched closed and fried and others somewhat open. Never had a non-fried quesadilla until moving to the states. Fried puffy tacos were common in many places, especially outside of the city where mechanized tortillas, way cheaper and easier, were not available.
I don't think there could really be an origin as I imagine all kinds of places served a variety of fried corn shapes and such. Sopes, which are a truly Mexican item that is not seen much in Tex-Mex land are fried round thick corn things out of masa. If big enough and pliant enough they can be folded over and eaten like a taco.
The glory of Mexican origin food is that there are so many ingredients and so many varieties and variations.

Why would anyone want to do that?Brian Earl Spilner said:TXAG 05 said:Ribavirin said:

Authentic Mexican food can be good and certainly has its place, but like Mexico itself, Texas took it and made it 100 times better.Ribavirin said:

When I was a lad our local place had "The 3 Amigos" - 1 chicken, 1 cheese, and 1 beef enchilada. That was my go-to.
Let's go, Brandon!

Whether or not you want to, it certainly makes that opinion about as useless as the parents on Stranger Things.
