What's the deal with mexican food?

Question

EVERYTHING IS THE SAME!

Answer 1

Tex Mex sucks

Answer 2

Aha!!! You are oh so wrong. There is a difference in the spices that they add. The way I make my Mole is different from the way some one in California would make. Although the name of the meal itself is the same the flavor is not.

Answer 3

It's part of our culture. You can say the same thing about other ethnic foods. My best advice is just don't eat it! If you don't like the food then just leave it at that.

Answer 4

I agree with Christopher.  Mexican cuisine has a wide variety of textures and flavors.  How can you compare a tamale with chiles en nogada?

Answer 5

LOL...you are right!

BUT there is a big difference between a dish made with rice, tomatoes, cheese, beans and tortillas and a dish made with cheese, tortillas, tomatoes, beans and rice!

Answer 6

When it's not cooked right, true.  There is quite a bit of variety with authentic mexican foods.

Answer 7

what "deal"

are you referring to the salmonella problem..??

why are you yelling at us???

Answer 8

yeah..............and it's all

FANTASTICALLY DELICIOUS!!!!!

hahaha

Answer 9

It's not the same. Try "Mole poblano", "Chile en nogada", "atole"... I'm sure you've never tried that!!!

Answer 10

Thats what we all say about our own ethnic foods. Or maybe it's because you live in the states and you're bombarded with tex-mex. You'll get more variety out of more traditional mexican foods.

Answer 11

you probably only know tacos,burritos,quesadillas, carne asada,fajitas, that's not even the surface of the real mexican food.

try asking for "pozole,birria,barbacoa de borrego,machaca, caldo de res,pollo azado,pechugas rellenas,chiles rellenos,albondigas,pollo en mole,pipian de pollo,pescado sarandeado,caldo 7 mares,huachinango a la veracruzana,camarones al aguachile,camarones a la diabla,cazuelitas de mariscos,etc. I know like a houndred more mexican dishes that only mexicans know all this are real mexican food . the ones you know are just for american consumer or fast food kind. just google any of the ones i wrote and you'll find out.

i recomend you "birria de chivo" or "pescado sarandeado"

just google and thats just the surface of the mexican food forget tacos and burritos

Answer 12

Everything tastes the same at, say, Taco Bell.  Visit Mexico and see that the variations, textures, tastes, and complexity of the food makes it truly one of the world's most outstanding, recognized, and revered cuisines.

Answer 13

Mexican food is MY favorite... Its all good!!!

Answer 14

I don't know how you can equate a Fish Taco with a chicken enchilada.......

Or a Chile Rellano with Carne Asada.......Or a Quesadilla with a Bean and Cheese burrito or a Carnitas Tostada.....They're all different textures......and flavors......

Must be my taste buds.......

Answer 15

to make your opinion more thorough maybe you should visit mexico and enjoy the variety of flavours they have to offer

im not particulary fond of mexican food myself for other reasons and aspects, but ill have to object on your observation that could come from exposure in the united states to fast food labeled as mexican in which everrything endeed does taste very similar
