The small dives are the best. There is one off of West Ave and I think Nacamo that serves great food. Also a place on Walzem near the YMCA that is good.
There you go with the racial stereotyping.I'm Mexican American and I have a Caucasian phenotype. Nobody is " skinned" like you said, they are brown. I guess you hate Native Americans and Black people too. Why don't you back to whatever in racist country you came from!

Ha. You about authenticity then drool over King Taco????
KT is the shyt......
it's and L.A. thang.....you wouldn't understandHa. You about authenticity then drool over King Taco????
but in either case, L.A. blows away S.A. as far as real mexican food is concerned.
Dude... you must have never eaten there... King Taco is killer! I know Mr. Dio and I have our differences but this is one big area where we agree, A puro Carne burrito with guac and green salsa = absolute perfection! LA is blessed to have the King Taco!Ha. You about authenticity then drool over King Taco????
I'm sure it is. I didnt say it sucked. I'm not about to debate "real"ness. It's only ing food! I'm just commenting on the name and name alone.
King-Taco......yeah, kind of funny if you think about it
but kick ass tacos nonetheless.....
I don't know what you consider "real". But there are plenty of great restaurants run by Mexican nationals here that serve different Mexican dishes like Chile Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada and Cabrito just to name a few. I've yet to find any indigenous cuisine restaurants that sell Chapulines or indigenous central Mexican dishes, but nonetheless, SA does have great Mexican food if you look hard enough.
I'm sure LA is the exact same way.
*Edit*: I've been to many restaurants that serve great Mole too, which is about as indigenous Mexican as one can get. So I take back what I said.
My mother makes AMAZING Mole. Now I'm jonesing for it.
I really could care less about "authenticity". People aren't allowed to develop new food styles? As long as it tastes good I'm ok with it. I'm not trying to be some mexican foodie/hipster.
I know we're only talking about food here, but it is somewhat unsettling that you dismiss Mexican border towns by saying "they've lost their iden y". The food they make is just as much Mexican as anything the center has ever put out and are just as much Mexican as any chilango.
I feel the same way. I don't know why some people are ting on Tex-Mex food in this thread (there's a joke in there somewhere), as if it is beneath them to eat it. If I want to eat Tex-Mex at Las Palapas with melted american cheese or whatever they put on their plates, I'm gonna eat it because it ing tastes great.
Authenticity-ers lol

If you want real Mexican food, go to Mexico. This is Texas for a reason.

Bad food is bad food. Good food is good food. As far as Mexican food goes--or whatever le you want to put before "food" that doesn't send your authenticity scale in a tizzy--it's all basically Cheese, Flour and Lard.
And personally I think American cheese is an abomination. There's no oil in cheese.
uh oh
I didn't really care for Mexican food much at all in Cali the times I have visited.
BTW I promise you no member of my family has ever used the word cuisine to describe food they ate in Mexico.
Exactly.
If you don't like Tex-Mex because of the ingredients then great, more power to you. I don't like Indian food. But if you don't like Tex-Mex because you're on some sort of "Que viva Mexico!", "Hecho en Mexico!" pride trip, then that seems a bit foolish.
As if riding in on their burro wasn't foolish enough
BTW I promise you no member of my family has ever used the word cuisine to describe food they ate in Mexico.
No. But stick a $100 price tag on roasted grasshoppers or any indigenous plate, and not only is it cuisine, but it is now an exquisite delicacy.
like I said, I don't care much for the Tex-mex iden y much less the food and the stupid spanglish mixture of ty-spoken english and spanish. like my mom taught us all, "if you don't have the education to speak one language at a time, don't speak it, it sounds low-life" (but that's for another argument)
phuck tex-mex. phuck the food. phuck the people who justify it.
Real Mexican food forever!!
As long as it is good I don't care what label you place on it. Mexican, Tex-Mex, Cowboy grub, chow. Does it really matter?
Sounds like your mother was a pendeja. Oops, used two languages!
