Taco Palenque>>>>Taco Cabana/Mama Margies

[TheManFromAcme]

+10000

I agree with you totally and that's why I'm saying Taco Palenque>>>>TC/MM/Chachos, etc because it's more authentically Mexican than the rest. Their food is more Northern Mexican( Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Coahuila) based than Tejano. Although they do have some TexMex elements in some of their items but it is minimal.

You do realize that there are many styles of Mexican food? The variety we see here in San Antonio and Northern Texas is just a bas ized version of Northern Mexican cuisine.

Tex mex sucks BIG TIME

[Mr Dio]

I love this place called Taqueria Datapoint off of I-10 and Medical.

Yeah, El Trailito De Huero is what I think it also goes by.
Next to the laundrymat.
Good food, almost Jalisco style IMO.
Nice staff.


Taco Palenque, I like.
Owner's son seems like a cool dude.
Laid back.


King Taco is the in CA tho.
Eat all the In-n-Out you want man, but I'll take a Puro Carne Asada w/guac anyday! Glad they finally opened one in Pico Rivera a few yrs ago. Got tired of always having to go to the 1 in East Los by the freeway. 3rd St? 5th St? I dunno.

Taco hipsters.

ooo i didn't read the rest of the thread

you are a stupid piece of who thinks Mexican food is better than Tex-Mex, the greatest of all foods

and CROFL at N Texas Tex-Mex

CROFL CROFL CROFL

shut up

you don't know your head from you ass you idiot. Tex-Mex is the lowest form of food that wants it's own iden y and isn't going to get it. San Antonio is FAR from being a good place for Mexican food, so it would be ideal if S.A. could stop claiming that claim to fame. What a lie. My pops is German-Irish and my Mom is from Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico and laughs at San Antonio cuisine....it sucks.

Get out of town you Tejano idiot.
Tejanos = people who really don't know jack about Mexican culture but claim and don't claim it when it's convenient. Phuck em

[mrsmaalox]

San Antonio has the most adulterated Mexican food I've had in the southwest; the only worse Mexican food I've had is in the furthest north areas of the U.S. but I'd expect that.

But I will distinguish that what I dislike about San Antonio's Mexican food is "tex-mex", in the northern U.S. it's a more central American influence that gets lumped in.

I used to live in the apartments right next door to that place. I used to love getting the mini taquitos from there. I think 2 of the waitresses lived in the complex too.

Let me give you a rundown of what is trully "TexMex"

Carne Guisada with cheese
Carne con Chile
American Cheese Enchiladas
Ricos Nachos

That's about it?

The rest is based on Northern Mexican cuisine. All the grilled meats(Fajitas, steak asado, etc) and the methods of preparation were thought up in Mexican border towns like Piedras Negras, Coahuila and Nuevo Laredo, MX. We Texans just copied them and slightly adjusted some of the ingredients and made them our own.

I wouldn't go that far, ( as we are only an hour & half from Mexico) but it does get pretty bad in some places. Best Mexican food in the U.S. imo: San Diego, Califas. Southern New Mexico, and deep South Texas ( El Paso, Laredo, Eagle Pass, and the valley region).

slighly adjusted? the cuisine has been raped.

Your partially right about the northern influence but that's only the screwed up border towns. Those idiots also lost their identify. Sorry to break it to you but Fajitas IS NOT traditionally Mexican.


Go to Oaxaca, Veracruz, Puebla, Durango, Mexico D.F. etc., and order any of the foods you just mentioned and they'll look at you funny.

Having spent many a summer in Mexico with family on my moms side, border food is sub-sub-par....big time

[ohmwrecker]

El Pollo Loco is great.

That green sauce rocks!

[Ginobilly]

WHY DONT YOU GO TO A REAL TAQUERIA!!?? THAT IS WHAT I AM ASKING? WHY WOULD YOU EVER STEP FOOT (actually your fat ass probably stays in the drive thru so no one can overhear your 5-person order for 1) IN A TY FASTFOOD RESTAURANT WHEN YOU HAVE REAL RESTAURANTES AND TACO STANDS AROUND?

Don't need to most of the time because my girl makes me homemade flour tortillas( how you'll like dem apples?) and authentic Mexican food. She is hot as ( met her at UTSA) and is a recent immigrant from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, thus she knows her Mexican food. I'm not an overweight person for your information. I'm a pretty fit 24 year old and have been participating in the San Antonio Rock N Roll marathon for the past two years.

I know my Mexican food really good because my dad is from Monterrey, Mexico and used to be a chef there. He later migrated to the U.S. during the 70's and managed several Mexican restaurants in Dallas and FT. Worth. All of my sibling and me ate badass growing up!


I get laid and then eat badass afterwards! How many of your girls cook for any of you'll?

I know what you mean because I've traveled to southern Mexico and they don't know jack about flour tortillas or refried pinto beans( they use black). Yeah, the south has a more traditionally Mexican(native Mexican) flavor than the north. The north has more Spanish and German influence in their dishes. Okay, about fajitas being not traditionally Mexican? Your right and your wrong. Fajitas(current popular method of cuts and preparation) are thought to have originated in South Texas/Northern Mexico(around the Laredo, Piedras Negras region) during circa 1850's- 1890's (nobody know for sure) by Hispanic cowboys. During those times the border wasn't secure and people traveled back and forth without repercussions. So it's unknown whether it's entirely Mexican or Tejano. But they sure are good!

I'll buy it

Fortunately/unfortunately when my folks sent me to Mexico from LA for the summer it was the cites and states I mentioned earlier (only border town I stayed one summer was in El Paso which happens to have pretty damn good food itself). My bias stems from what I grew up with.

maybe I am being a little rough on the tex-mex thing being that summer is just about here and a bunch of my San Antonio native buddies sure love thier fajitas and beer and truth be known.......they sure are good.
