Mexican and Tex-Mex is on my top 4 list of favorite food.
In the early 90's I lived down in the Texas valley near McAllen, TX, just a spit'n distance from the Texas/Mexican border.

Down there it all Mexican. The food was fantastic. That's where I first tasted the green chili. They put it on everything. Enchilada, chicken, tacos, stew. And the Chili con carne, it's not green but boy is it good. Muy Delicioso!



>I spent a few years living in the SouthWest. A lot of time in New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. The absolute BEST Mexican (well - not really Mexican since I never found anything similar in all my travels in Mexico) food was a small place in Santa Fe, NM. I never found a place as good as it anywhere. The green chili was something!

>>>>>I am 40 years old, but still when making a burrito I almost always put too much filling in it. I get too enthused about all of the yummy ingredients that I end of with this overstuff pillow like thing that breaks apart when I eat it. Then just long enough time passes before I have them again that I forget this lesson. I guess it is sort of like making a pizza, it hard to show restraint, but if you do it turns out so good.

>>My food weakness is sushi and sashimi. There are a lot of sushi buffets in S. Cal and I always seem to eat too much when I go. Sashimi and a cold glass of Miller. Man, that's good. But I don't like the Japanese resaurants too much becuase they're too trendy for me. I go to Korean sashimi restaurants. There's one in Korea-Town in LA called Pusan Restaurant, on the corner if Beverly and Western. Just a hole in the wall, but man are they good.

>>When I lived in Texas, I loved Tex-Mex food. When the craving hits me, then I know it's time to visit Texas.
