Ahahhahhaa New York has good Mexican food. Get fucked loser.
T. Socal Mexican food master race.

>>14514542
>often heavily Americanized
California is the most populous state in the union by a good margin and like 30% is Mexican or Chicano. You can find any type of Mexican inspired food you want in even the most rural po' dunk towns. NYC has some decent Mexican food but towns you've never heard of in California have at least as good of Mexican food as NYC.

>>14514544
Wow you sure proved him wrong.
Dumb spic

>>14514542
You can get great food of basically any kind in NYC. There are millions of people there from all over the world and lots of money.

>>14514550
Yeah, I know California has a wide range.
I just think it's silly for white Californians whose idea of great Mexican food is carme asada fries to look down on the Mexican food of other regions.

>>14514561
>you can get great food of basically any kind in NYC
NYC is actually really shitty for Mexican food. Even fucking Chicago is better.

>>14514612
It's not shitty, boomer
NYC has a lot of great Mexican food. The ceviche tostada in my OP was 10/10.

>>14514542

>NYC unironically has great Mexican food
If it does, California has better Mexican
>often heavily Americanized
Even if it does have Americanized, they still have the most authentic variation in the US. NY is still behind Texas and Chicago when it comes to Mexican

What are some top tier NYC Mexican places? I haven’t found any truly great ones. Mexican food in Mexico is a lot better and cheaper than any I’ve had in the US desu.

>>14514694
La Morada
Los Mariscos

>>14514542
NYC has decent Mexican food but you can't even compare it to southern CA. The only thing NYC does better than southern CA is halal carts

>>14514651
NYC is ahead of a large chunk of Texas in Mexican food.

because they have more actual Mexicans, retard
how fucking dumb are you
even I know this and I'm a fucking leaf

>>14514542
West Coast is where it's at.
(((NYC))) can fuck off along with all the flyovers.
We got the best of everything.

NYC has good upscale Mexican/pujol type mexican which is still considered Mexican imo, but when it comes to traditional Mexican? Yeah, no. You don't even have better poblano food

>>14514724
I went to Los Mariscos, it was fine but nothing spectacular. I can make better at home.

I like hearing white californians pretend like they have some kind of special relationship with the guy running their favorite slop joint

>>14514788
Just take a flight to San Diego if you want good mariscos. Better yet, skip that and just go to Ensenada

>>14514542
>NYC has best mexican food

Nah cities in the bible belt have among the best and cheapest for what you get, especially if you can find a mexican shop shacked up next to a gas station.

r u rly arguing over who grills lightly seasoned meat, tomato, and beans the best

>>14514833
Yes.

>>14514833
You have to realize that for them, this is more of an argument over who is more cosmopolitan than thou. Everyone living in an identical multicultural area all thinks THEIR boring nondescript town is special and 'does things different'.

>>14514833
>tomato
>mexican food

That's texmex at that point gringo

>>14514544
Is there any place worse in the entire us than socal? These faggots are like the vegans of american geography they always have to pop in and say whatever their dumb mutt brains are impulsively thinking. No one likes you or your shitty commie city, even LA looks down on you

>>14514924
yes. flyover towns

>>14514847

Are you retarded? You are aware the fucking Aztecs were using this shit right?

>>14514542
Please just please
If your mexican food were at all as solid as you make it sound you would not have any need to defend it

Californian mexican food is bad, it's not real mexican food at all. Tacos have fucking rice in them for fucks sake. If you see a mexican serving ""mexican"" food in california they're not from Mexico, they are chicanos that have never spoken to a true spic
t. mexican

>>14514542
This is the pic you use to prove it? NY fags are insufferable. You have so much great food there but not even close to the best Mexican food in the US.

>>14514744
We’re on the fucking border with Mexico, you really think Texas doesn’t have better food? This state was literally Mexico.

>>14514924
NY is leagues worse with way more cunts. SD has fucking mountains and the ocean. NY has a dog park.

>>14514846
>this is more of an argument over who is more cosmopolitan than thou
painfully true
>boring nondescript town
NYC is anything but
t. coastie

>>14514542
Because the average CA lives in a state with a bigger population than Canada, so their opinions of lesser states tend to be negative. Also, the majority of people who visit California (and other states likewise) tend to only visit the worst places, because most people who travel are little babies with some whiny cunt with them and they never want to try the amazing hole-in-the-wall, they just want to go to in’n’out and chipotle like stupid snobby rich fags in CA do.

>>14514974
That makes literally no difference. Your logic is boomer tier.

>>14515352
What’s wrong with my logic? There’s more Mexicans in Texas than there are people in NYC. You think millions of Mexicans and a history with Mexico couldn’t make the Mexican food better than NYC? lol you’re a fucking idiot

>>14515352

makes a huge difference because it has to do with distribution and supply chains. restaraunts outside the american southwest have to pay more for the correct ingredients or their ingredients are lower quality (brown avocados, frozen fish, etc etc). so the average mexican hole in the wall or mid tier restaraunt outside the regions where the ingredients are produced cost more money or are frozen because of the trip it takes to get to the restaraunt. Chef's play a pricing game to make a restaraunt survive so in order to hit par they either go with cheaper/lower quality ingredients or substitute ingredients with stuff thats more local, cheaper, and fresher.

So in a regional cuisine where agricultural output is year round because of the climate and soil, a place like New York City isn't going to be able to compete strictly for the fact their growing season only lasts 4-5 months and they import most of their proteins. California, Mexico, and Texas consume mostly domestic protein which means the meat is fresher.

NYC has the best TexMex in the country

Imagine thinking the US has good mexican food

Shockingly, good food can be cooked anywhere and is not tied to location. You're going to have an easier time finding good authentic Mexican food in the state sharing a border with Mexico though (shitty and Americanized places still exist but in relatively smaller proportion)

>>14514542
>Americanized
1. Mexico is part of the Americas.
2. The US has a lot of it's own "Mexican" food. Thinking that because it's from one region or another makes it more authentic is pure idiocy.
3. California is shit on many levels, and they are full of trendy bullshit with food, but what you are thinking of as "Americanized" is almost certainly more related to TexMex.

>>14514542
Cause they know it makes Yankees mad

>>14514542
Texas is king

San Diego has the best Mexican food outside of Mexico City. Everyone who has been here for a length of time knows it. When you have Mexican food elsewhere that is "good", it's a shameful horrible experience.

This doesn't mean it can't be tasty or that you can't get good Mexican food somewhere at that one place you love or whatever. It just means likely if we ate there it would taste like fucking garbage because it probably is.

>>14516164

Oh, yeah, as far as "Americanized" this just means you don't know jack shit about Mexicans. They make really great fucking hamburgers in Mexico. The taco shop owners in San Diego love cheddar cheese and mix it with queso fresca into their own fusion. This is one of the reasons SD has such great Mexican food, because of the Mexicans that moved here.

>>14516164
>San Diego has the best Mexican food outside of Mexico City
I live in San Diego and the tacos, seafood and fine dining in Baja is superior to San Diego's.

Rate my tacos. I paid ~$20 for these tacos in SoCal

>>14516179
San Diego fine dining sucks. I'd probably split my time between taco carts and Diego style shops if I had a choice. I've been to fishing villages and eaten like a prince. So I get it.

>>14516185
From what I can see the ingredients do look pretty good but not $20 good. It's like half of your bill is paying for the "creativity" of putting unconventional shit in tacos.

>>14516284
Their tacos are the reason why they have a michelin star

>>14516237

not gonna lie pretty based menu and worth the price. if you're talking california "date night" mexican this is a solid menu and still cheap enough to make ur date feel like ur cool but also not as expensive as fine dining. i give this menu an 8/10

>>14516208
Based and orangepilled

>>14516332

Isn't Mexican food in Texas mostly Tex-Mex? And even the actual Mexican places are mostly representative of far North Mexico

>>14514542
>Different parts of America arguing about who makes the best mexican food
This seems silly.

Here, have some American food.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgYjMFH80ps

>>14514542
honestly the mexican food in NY is super mediocre

>>14514744
No, it isn’t. You can get all varieties of Mexican in Texas including TexMex. We are on the border.

>>14514542

0/10 troll

SoCal has many a Mexican owned restaurant. Because you know, Mexico is right there...

>>14516395
Depends, hole in the wall places? Absolutely Mexican. Sit down restaurants? Mostly tex mex, but still plenty of mexican as well.

I prefer texmex

>>14516237

Wtf is this hipster bullshit. Gtfo with these prices. That's insane.

>>14516185

I don't know. What do Mexican ants eat?

>>14516185
>>14516237
Lol at faggots getting mad about $20. This kind of thing is why I put up with this nightmare of a state. Pic related is Calmex bbq pork, smoked chicken, smoked tri tip tacos which triggered the fuck out of all kinds of people. If it’s good tasting I eat it, no alligence to any one style, it’s all fucking good if made with care and thought.

>>14516686
Have you tried making your own and not paying $20 for tri tip or bacon in a taco

>>14516632
I see aguachile everywhere now. I remember when the dish wasn't trendy a few years back

>>14516632
Duck carnitas + corn husk merengue dessert

>>14516686
$20 isn't that much, the people who complain are retards who think Mexican food needs to be cheap because Mexicans are poor

Had to move to Chicago last year for work. I wasn't expecting any good ethnic food, but surprisingly the Mexican food here is just about the only thing they do right, seriously pretty good. Started making sense once I realized about 1/3 of the city is hispanic nowadays...

>>14514542
I actually had pretty good Mexican food in Suffern NY of all places at this place.

>>14514542
only retards who have never left Manhattan say that. Sunset park and parts of queens have great Mexican food and weirdly there is amazing oaxacan food in the mid-hudson valley area.

>>14514542
I have a friend from CA that now lives in NY. every time he goes back to CA, he binges on mexican food because it's that much better than NY

>>14514847
Tomatoes are native to Mexico, bro

because it is untouchable unless you're in gringo area
literally nu mexico

>>14516745
It's more Hispanic than black but most outsiders don't know that

>>14516859
Maybe if he's a fat stoner who prefers stuff like carne asada fries
>>14516853
Even Manhattan has tons of good Mexican food. That's where I took the OP pic

literally every US city of more than 500,000 has excellent mexican food, probably a lot of smaller ones do to. Its not rare

>>14514847
That’s gonna be a yikes from me dawg

>>14515914
They share a border, brohaha

>>14517071
It's not even a competition. Not even remotely close.

>>14517153
I mean I get it guys, you have some tasty place or maybe even a couple. This isn't like your whole pizza meme war going on between a few cities. Our standard fair at a whole in the wall will outclass almost everything else.

There is tex-mex in Texas, green chili in Denver, and then there is San Diego taco shops. Nothing touches San Diego taco shops because they are literally thousands of Mexican families competing with each other. We have the best mariscos outside of Baja too.

>>14517180
And yeah, yeah we post carne asada fries a lot. Because we can fucking whomp poutine posters in one shot with one dish. That's fine if you think french fries with marinated steak isn't Mexican enough. The Mexicans don't fucking care they are the ones that make it. Your finest "Mexican" dining won't even compare to what I get off our roving taco trucks and we have our own lobster fisheries.

Why doesn't Mexican food use vegetables?
(Tomatoes, avocados, and squash are not vegetables)

I've never seen Mexicans use mushrooms but a ton of fruits go into their diet. They put everything on fruit and I mean everything.

>>14514588

Even if they're white, they're not pure kek.

>>14517262

Used for flavor. Nobody eats a pile of onions as the vegetable of their meal
>cilantro
Used in small amounts for garnish

Only used on fish tacos

Well, you proved my point that Mexico isn't big on actual vegetables. And fruits are good but they're not vegetables.

>>14517286
No American is white.

>>14514924
LA is prime socal, retard
OC is the only non-socal place in socal, mostly because of the chinks and right wingers

>>14517303
I saw them use lettuce once. Seriously though I think it's climate related. They use a ton of squash and some root veg. But mostly maize, tomatillos, beans, rice, etc. Jicama is a root vegetable but it's practically a fruit.

>>14517304
whiter than you mohammad

>>14517332
>climate
How could they not grow vegetables in that climate?
And Mexico is cosmopolitan enough to have taken other outside ingredients, so why not real vegetables like spinach, broccoli, cabbage beyond fish tacos, bok choy, green beans, etc.?

t. faggots who think they know mexicans
This is what mexicans eat :
>cactus
>purslane
>cauliflower
>cabbage
>huauzontle

>>14517355
What does cauliflower and cabbage go on? I've only seen cabbage on fish tacos

>>14517360
>cabbage
various beef stews
>cauliflower
in escabeche, as a fritter and a oaxacan vegetarian dish called chileao

>>14514542
it's cheap, convenient and tasty.
you can get drive thru at 2 am on a tuesday night.
get a carnitas torta and wash it down with a horchata for about $5.

>>14517369
So it seems like none of your examples are really that common (like bok choy served with Chinese dishes) and only found in niche dishes

>>14517374
I'm pretty sure caldo de res is made all throughout Mexico.

>>14517286
>>14514588
>>14516637
>>14517304
>>14517334
As a white Mexican whom immigrated during the time that Mexico was a French European monarchy I am offended.

>>14517376
But overall, my point is correct
In Jamaican cuisine for comparison, you tend to get true veggies (cabbage, okra, spinach) with every meal

>>14517355
where is the squash.
where are the stink bugs
where are the ant eggs
where are the water flies
where are the maguey worms
where is the mole.

>>14517384
I would say the equivalent of that is cactus.

>>14517386
Central/Southern Mexicans don't count

>>14517397
>Mexico city doesn't count.
Anon..... I feel like you never been to Mexico.
also I forgot where is the green chorizo.

>>14517384
>true veggie
>okra
It's a fruit you collossal mong.

>>14517391
And even that does not appear to be universal
It's better than Ecuadorian/Colombian cuisine though, where vegetable servings are rarely if ever found

>>14517404
Damn. But they do eat a lot of cabbage as well as callaloo

I miss LA. They had a restaurant similar to a curry house but with moles
>>14517386
The only bug worth eating are ant eggs. everything else should stay in the prehispanic times

>>14517412
I gotta say no on that bro.maguey worms fried with salt are superior to french fries.

>>14518605
And also the most important city on the planet

>>14518575
>al pastor
it's obviously a ceviche tostada

>>14518598
The Mexican food in most of Texas is either very Gringoized or from the worst culinary parts of Mexico. Which doesn't mean that it's bad necessarily, just not as great as what you're saying.

>>14518631
That's not entirely true
Most of the places in immigrant neighborhoods are there to serve construction worker guys who just want something cheap and good, they're not looking for perfection by any means.
So yeah you'll find plenty of good food, but a place isn't automatically better just for being in a low income Hispanic neighborhood.

Have any of you guys been to La Morada?
If so, what would you recommend?

>>14517239

There's literally restaraunts advertising their niche food from their small town. If sounds like you just dont really know anything about mexico at all. Its hyper localized cuisine. Maybe you should visit sometime and see how different the food can be in a 20 minute drive. I bet you think think wild game and Bush meat is uncommon in Mexican dishes too. Fucking retard.

I suspect it is more of an abundance of fruit bearing plants and a lot of desertification. As for bok choy, if you knew Mexico you'd know they have a huge Chinese population and a lot of Chinese food.

Why would you argue something that just isn't true? NYC doesn't have great Mexican food, sure there are decent places but arguing that they have the same quality Mexican food as SoCal is retarded.

And use more cabbage

>>14521350
NYC has lots of great Mexican food
There are 10+ neighborhoods with an LA level of Mexicans

>>14521444
Yeah I don't know man. They grow a lot of the food that we eat in Estados Unidos. There isn't a food shortage there and they're fatter than we are a lot of the time. I think a lot of Mexico is farm to table as their infrastructure is not as developed as most Western countries. Although that is finally changing.

Mexican markets are packed with produce. I see more fruit and strange items I've never seen anywhere else there. Including vegetables that I don't know the name of. And you can see in pic related they have asparagus.

Mexican cuisine has nuances from different regions and coastlines too. It's a big country and you can't really generalize it down to beans and rice with choice of meat.

I'm starting to think that Taco and Birria should be the national dish of mexico and not poblano/chile en nogada. Not every mexican likes mole poblano and chile en nogada even less

>>14521538
Yeah but chiles en nogada are more extravagant

>>14521510
Looks like mostly cilantro and tomatoes

Modesto California has best meth, cocaine and taqueria on Earth.

>>14522052
What's wrong with it?

Regarding Mexicans and vegetables, aren't there a lot of cuisines that aren't heavy on true vegetables?
Like do Italians typically eat a huge pile of greens with every meal?

>>14522397
Really America is the country who heavily promoted vegetables. The concept of the meal being meat, carb, vegetable being a must.

>>14522410
Asians eat a lot of vegetables though
And I would say Europe does too
And Anglo-Caribbean countries + Africa

>>14514542
>thinks Puerto Rican turds make better Mexican food than Mexicans
Amazing.

>>14522434
There are tons of Mexicans in NYC, you tard. I know a whole group of them in Bushwick, Brooklyn
They're starting to outnumber Puerto Ricans in many neighborhoods

>>14522434
Lol, in Mexico reggaeton is the most popular genre of music
Latin America dickrides Puerto Rico

>>14516686
I see you got the mecos special maricón.

>>14522428
historically in the agricultural world people everywhere mostly ate grains and vegetables until modern times when normal people and even low class people finally started being able to afford meat regularly thanks to capitalism

>>14521630
Seems you don't know what vegetables are then. There's even a huge sign that says "calabaza" which is squash/pumpkin.

>>14522476
So before meat, Mexicans were mainly just eating grains and beans?

>>14522484
Squashes are fruits, dummy

>>14522497
and veggies

>>14522522
But most of the "vegetables" people list here are actually fruits

>>14522535
you do realize that pre-hispanic mexican consumed quelites, right?

how the fuck does a restaurant in portugal have better Mexican than 90% of the stuff in NYC?

>>14522548
Most Mexicans in NYC are lower income, so the focus is mainly on stuff like tacos and tortas

>>14522543
That's just one vegetable and it doesn't seem commonly used anymore

>>14522572
>one vegetable
nigga...

>>14522548
What restaurant?

>>14522594
frida cocina mestiza. It's basically a restaurant that looks like it was straight out of Mexico City.

Well the guy who was scouted the taquerias for the taco chronicles approves of it so it must be decent.

>>14516237
>18 dollars for 5 dollar piece of meat.
I mean why bother? you might as well go to Argentinian restaurant and get the same shit but at least you get Chimichurri sauce.
>12 dollar for a quesadilla.
>13 dollars for some spicy shrimp.
>shiitake mushrooms taco.
>11 dollars for a salad

this just shows nativity.

>>14522793
That's not that expensive.

>>14522452
>I know a whole group of them in Bushwick, Brooklyn
Well hold the flippin' phones, everybody... this guy knows a whole GROUP of Mexicans in NYC - a whole group!

>>14522851
I mean there are a fuckton more, I just meant that I already met a ton of them just from hanging out there for a few months.
You see Mexican families and taco trucks everywhere, it's like LA

>>14522901

Can say this is false
Methdesto is weak in basically all these things although taco places are not hard to find

>>14521803
"Food invented in America", elaborate

>>14522837
Yes it is. But you coasties are dumb enough to pay $1200 a month for an efficiency apartment.

>>14521451
Give it up. This is sad to read. Have you ever been to LA? You have no idea what you’re talking about.

>>14523931
That doesn't mean NYC isn't filled with great Mexican food

>>14523917
>$1200 is expensive
I pay $5000 per month in payments on my house. I do it because I can, and because every cent will be recouped if I have to sell. I’m halfway to total victory, wish me luck.

>I pay $5000 per month in payments on my house. I do it because I can, and because every cent will be recouped if I have to sell
I've heard this before.

>>14514542
Dude. you can find good, authentic Mexican food literally anywhere.

>>14525115
Not true.

>>14514551
Dumb kike

>>14514846
Never seen such cope before are you seriously comparing metropolis to plunk hick towns? I live in Grays Harbor WA and travelled all over this state, rural Oregon and NorCal for work. (Linesmen repairing fire damage). Little towns are almost identical to the foods they serve, beers they drink, language they use and clothes they wear

Which US state has the best Mexican girls?

>>14521888
Thanks anon. Spent forever just trying to find a post like this one.

>>14525831
New Mexico obviously

>>14518615
that does not have rice.

>>14521335
may be its bitter orange ( naranja agria), the same that goes with cochinita pibil

>>14517372
the only good dish in this thread so far

>>14514542
Brooklyn legit has great Mexican. Real Mexican, Tex-Mex, and the NYC classic Chexican, we have good stuff. The Chexican Char Siu Quesadilla is the best $4 you can spend

Does NYC even have legit carne asada joints? I'm talking about cooked over the grill and not a flat top like they do in central mexico

>>14526283
The yummy tacos sell char siu?

>>14526354
So you're saying they use a flat top in Central Mexico?

>>14526398
For the most part, yes. Most bistec tacos are on a flattop/griddle while most places up north are made like pic related

>>14514847
This. What authentic mexican dish uses tomatoes? Nobody can find one that isn't texmex.

>>14526579
Most Mexicans in NYC are from Puebla or Mexico City, so that makes sense.
But I think the Los Tacos Uno place in Manhattan has a proper grill. The owners are from Baja I think.

>>14526616
Ceviche

>>14526752
Not mexican. Ceviche is peruvian.

>>14526795
Pan de Cazon

>>14514542
Minnesota has a shocking number of illegals and they keep opening tacquerias. I don't mind it. They're fun to work with too

>>14526795
Mexicans make ceviche too
And Veracruz has dishes with tomato sauce

>>14514542
No you fucking retards, mexico has the best mexican food

/thread

>>14526926
Doesn't matter. It isn't mexican. Americans make tacos, does that make tacos American?

>>14526961
Shut the fuck up who fucking cares

>>14526990
Why be salty that you're wrong. Just admit it.

>>14526961
>>14526832

NY Mexican "food".

>>14527332
Ahhh... the ol' taco de la basura

>>14514542
you have great mexican food available at restaurants, we have great mexican food in our homes and grocery stores. Youll never beat us, were right at the source and mexicans have been living here since before it was America

Habaneros are the best pepper ever

>>14527332
Lies. NYC even has birria and shit

>>14527332
Lies. NYC has mole, baja seafood, and birria
>>14527624
Most of the Mexicans in states that "used to be Mexico" are immigrants and 2nd gen
You drank the SJW koolaid

>>14514544
*laughs in Texan*

>>14528467
These tards haven't even been here.
NYC is filled with Mexicans, you can't walk around Sunset Park or Bushwick without seeing tons of Mexican families.

>>14514542
no it really doesn't
the best mexican food in the US is in Texas btw
t. not even from Texas

>>14514724
>Los Mariscos
>Implying anything of worth resides in Chelsea
So you moved here, what, last year? Please go back

Los angeles has more regional cuisine restaurants, more mole restaurants, more taquerias, more seafood restaurants
This isn't even a contest. Los angeles better Mexican

>>14528550
I'm a native, and I would say that's the only thing of worth of in Chelsea
But I sense that you're a boomer retard who thinks Mexican food can only be good if it's cheap and in the ghetto.

>>14528694
LA yes, but most or California is no better than NYC

>>14528849
Oh and I haven't tried it's sister taqueria yet (Los Tacos) but I hear it's very good

>>14514542
what the fuck is that boys?

>>14528954
octopus retard

>>14528975
forgot a comma

>>14516185
I didn't even read the post first and automatically knew that shit was from California.

1 out of every 4 mexican places are good in new york.
In cali, the ratio is more like 5 out of 6.
There's pretty good places in brooklyn but fuck I haven't had a decent fish taco outside of cali

>>14529061
Los Mariscos has amazing fish tacos
Fish tacos are usually not great in NY though, because they tend to use grilled tilapia. But at Los Mariscos, they do it baja style and it's delicious

>>14529098
That place is okay, I didn't find the fish particularly good. Their pork was better but they also charge over 4 dollars for a fucking taco.

The only half-decent fish I've had was in burritos at luchadores and bklyn burro (sauce choice was weak)

>>14529119
I thought their fish tacos and ceviche were delicious. During non covid times, they have a ton of sauces available.

>>14529098
>puerto ricans can cook mexican food
ok kid

All the popular Mexican spots in NY are trash
Tacombi, Chavelas, Don Chingon all trash

>>14529061
As a pale beaner can confirm

hot take
best mexican food in the usa is in detroit

>>14529138
Not him but the owners are from Mexico and so are the taqueros

>>14529138
There are tons of Mexicans in NYC, you boomer tard.

>>14529249
Yeah, even the chicks taking the orders.
They sound like California Mexicans

almost 300 posts...
someone rev up another mexican food thread. i needa post some stuff

>>14514542
NYC has great options for all kinds of ethnic foods but Mexican isn't one of them. It's bland and boring over there, even at the high end places. They make up for it with Caribbean food though, I can't find much of that in CA.

>>14530165
There was a Mexican-Caribbean place on Oahu I tried years ago that had some real tasty stuff. Extremely cozy atmosphere with some luchadore paraphernalia on the walls.

california and jew york both have shitty mexican food

>>14530183
Both wrong

>>14521888
>>14521856
>>14521839

It's kinda infuriating when I read most discussions of Mexican food and it's just a bunch of faggots from California or New York who had $15 "street tacos" once and deemed themselves experts of authenticity. Mexico is a big ass country with a big ass variety of food.

>tfw the best mexican chef in the USA is some homo from Chicago

>>14530263
It's at the upper end of the scale for a small country, but it's not even a medium sized country, let alone a big one.

>>14530269
He actually isn't. The best Mexican chef in the US is a Mexican from Mexico City

new york has good every kind of food if you know where to go, its a massive multinational city
los angeles does too for that matter, name a country and either city will have people making authentic versions of that food, because thats part of why people live and move to those big cities

california obviously is right on the mexican border, so for proximity and quantity, its obviously better for mexican food

they also have access to nice mexican ingredients much easier, the nyc restaurant might be able to source some of it through shipping or a small local farm, but not in the quantity and at a higher price

Bro, califags think that way about everything. Besides there's no way it could be good. There's no meat in it. And if there is it's imitation meat made from soy. Vegan shitbags. Go eat a California roll ya fuck!

>all this NYC mexican talk
>no mention of the black ant.
What are you, plebs?
