For the same reason every Chinese restaurant does. Americans expect a stereotypical aesthetic when eating a cultures cuisine. I expect margaritas, mariachi bands, vibrant colored walls and a kitchen full of illegals that don't wash their hands after pooping at Mexican restaurants.

Because there are only so many colours that beans and rice come in. What a retarded question.

>>12291392
That shit looks bland... You're going to the wrong places. You need to go to the places that dirty/smelly field workers frequent (if not outright cooking the food) and if you don't have a place like that your town doesn't have good mexican food.

>>12291399
>kitchen full of illegals
You mean an american restaurant?

>>12291490
I live in California, even here pretty much all Mexican food is like that.

>>12291639

Don't most Mexicans subsist on beans and rice/tortillas? That's their staple diet I'm pretty sure.

>>12291490
t.retard who thinks all South American food is Mexican

>>12291392
Because it all comes from the same place. All the restaurants get the same Sysco catalog, order some microwave meals, then serve them to you for $10 a plate. Enjoy!

>>12291639
i also live in California, not a big city, and there are plenty places here with food that looks way better than that... I guess I just don't order platters like in OP's pic
>>12291650
News flash pal, I actually am of mexican descent and grew up eating this stuff

>>12291698
Then you should know well enough beaner food looks like that you retard.

because they get all their ingredients from the same place. Just like how all chinese restaurants taste the same. There are shitloads of them in AZ.

>>12291392
>i'm a flyover who has never been to mexico but I know our mexican restaurant in West Jeebusville, AR serves the only real mexican food that exists because the name of the restaurant is Jose's

>>12291392
>pulls up in front of your local Mexican joint
Or any for that matter.

>>12291392
Because it's pretty well all the same ingredients rehashed 100 different ways.

>>12291490
>m-muh authentic

go suck start a shotgun you hipster cunt

>>12293245
just like every regional cuisine ever

>>12291392
because its all the same

>>12293319
Yeah whatever you rice and beans motherfucker

>>12291392
If it ain't broke y fix it homes

>>12293245
Yeah that's everything u fuk . Everything is just a different type of sandwich. Pasta is just sandwich soup too

>>12292322
Yeah boi I love me some carne fries from Los betos

>>12291657
Yes and no. There do exist nearly complete restaurant "kits" which is why tex mex, chinamerican, and basic bitch Italian are so similar. But dont sign off on a place just because they use sysco; they are one of the biggest distributors period, they do have real ingredients on their order forms as well as pallets of canned refried beans and salsa.

>>12293387
ok mr. tomato sauce and pasta

>>12293418
>Pasta is just sandwich soup
blew my mind

>>12291392

I was just thinking about this today after eating a disappointing lunch. It's because they don't mix it up and are low tier Mexican restaurants. I'm so tired of the beans and rice bullshit.

Some of the newer Mexican restaurants that are cleaning up business wise are mixing it up in a good way. No more tomato/spanish rice, but instead they have the Mexican white rice, that is lightly chicken flavored, with peas/carrots/green beans/parsley. Its cleaner tasting, and next, they accompany that with a small salad on the plate and or pot beans seasoned with chicken bouillon. Or, fried potatoes with things like carne asada. Those places are the future of Mexican food.

Mexican American here.

>>12291392
Cause it is the same

>>12291392
I see rice and refried beans but what are the other 2?

>>12293635
>no asterisk next to chimichanga
What sick fuck puts beans in that? or anything for that matter

>>12293658
salad and meat

>>12291657
Is it possible for me, as a not business owner, to buy from Sysco?

>>12293658
"Carne asada" likely whatever trash cut they got from sysco, they sell 40 lb cases of "scrap meat" that you can braise down in an oven with nice stuff, but they likely used some packaged seasonings and called it a day.
"Guacamole salad" aka how to spend 3 cents to fill up a plate with 1/2 oz bagged guacamole, 1/3 of an unripe tomato and a handful of shredded iceberg lettuce aka fucking green water.

>>12293509
U have been enlightened

>>12293635
>quesadilla
> its not just a tortilla with some cheese and green onion
begone wipipo

>>12294035

YupI hate that, even in California they do that.

Sounds good desu, name of some of those restaurants? I want to look them up

>any mexican restaurant ever
>entree is $5
>$8 for entree + rice and beans
>the beans are just refried beans
Why does every mexican restaurant do this?

It is kinda sad how little this board knows about Mexican food.

I live in San Diego, the best Mexican food in America is found here.
Guess what... it doesn't fuckin' compare to real spic food 80% of the time. Realistically, even if you are of Mexican descent as some people put it, you still don't know what is real because your parents don't necessarily make the real deal.

Go to mexico, take pictures, eat various foods, and be absolutely amazed at the levels of culinary mastery that have been achieved in this vast and varied nation.

Never been to Baja California? It's this long peninsula hanging off of mainland Mexico, isolated from most of the cowboy shit, and they have an absolutely booming food industry there, along with seriously fine wines. The food in Baja resembles a modern spicy Mediterranean with dishes such as caldo de siete mares and camarones a la diabla and tacos de manta. You haven't lived till you gulp down beers, eating fucking shark or ray tacos and getting topped off afterwards by a lusty Mexican girl.

An aguachile or ceviche?

People, please. Don't speak out of ignorance and hate. Mexican food is truly one of the culinary wonders of the planet

CRINGE

>>12291702
Faggot menudo and pozole doesn't fucking look like that

>>12293524
Sounds like some hipster Chipotle knockoff you fucking pleb. Being Mexican doesn't make you an arbiter of what good Mexican food is. Mexicans are lazy and stupid, they need the white man to tell them what's good.

>>12297050
>I live in San Diego, the best Mexican food in America is found here

You poor deluded fool. East los clearly has the best.

>>12297270
You're a fool if you believe that. You fell for the mexican food in los angeles meme.

Think about it, use your puny brain. Pull up a map and see how far San Diego is from the most busy border crossing on the planet. Tons of the people that cross are Mexicans who cross every single day to work in San Diego then cross back. Over 80% Mexican population here.

10 miles from the border vs 100+. No real argument. You don't know shit. Maybe try south of downtown

Sushi rolls are just neatly made burritos cut into slices.

Because it is all the same

Who gives a shit about the food if you can't even maintain a country to make it in desu.
