Ok, Houstonfag. I'm a Manhattanfag, and while i'd admit that Texas has an excellent availability of 'authentic Mexican cuisine', all you're showing us is fucking tacos. Tacos are delicious and good, but let's not pretend that they aren't babby's first entry level Mexican food that you can get pretty much anywhere where people speak Spanish in the US. It'd be like Euros arguing over who has the best American cuisine and they use pictures of burgers to prove it. Anyone thinking that Mexican style tacos are exotic anymore either lives in the deepest depths of the rural Midwest, or hasn't been paying attention in the last 10-15 years.

While other anons have mentioned the 500,000 Mexican immigrants here in NYC, let's face it. Unless you live here, no one is gonna find good Mexican food in the city, because tourists never want to go north of 96th street or outside any borough that doesn't start with an 'M'. It's a damn shame, but at the same time I kinda like not getting the tourism bullshit fucking up my neighborhood.

If you're in town sometime, try going up into The Bronx. South Bronx has some good food, and I had a really good mole in either Mott Haven or Morrisania, I can't remember.
