Where is the triple threat hot sauce in the image.
This is this a spanish tapas not mexican.

>>5519011
Sopes (pic) are regular tier food here in Mexico, there are many variations of dishes involving fried torilla masa, beans and, chese and some vegetable (onion, tomato & lettuce most of the time)
if you want authentic Mexican food you should look for recipes like:

Mole (chicken covered in a sauce that's either sweet or spicy or both)
Chiles en Nogada (A big pepper covered in a walnut sauce, kinda sweet, i don't like them much but they are a classic)
Tacos (Search for lengua and pastor kind for beginners)
Chilaquiles (Tortilla chips covered on Green or Red sauce with chicken and cheese)
Pozole (spicy hominy soup with pork meat)
Menudo/Pancita (similar to pozole just with beef stomach meat)
Birria (Lamb meat with a spicy broth/sauce)

I would give you a recipe but they are easily avaliable on youtube you just have to search for the name of the dish.

Churros

>>5519011
Chipotle burrito.

I don't know how authentically "Mexican" it is (New Mexico is sort of a cultural theme park) but I like Adobada a lot. Had Birria last night; it was pretty alright, too, though I somewhat expected the meat to be more flavorful, or at least to not be overpowered by the other ingredients.
Chile con Carne is Tex-Mex, but it's good too
especially if it has beans
tfw texan

any recipes?

Tamales

>>5519103
I fucking love chile en nogada. I can't think of a more inventive or unique dish that involves beef.

>>5519103
>Tacos (Search for lengua and pastor kind for beginners)
Lengua is pretty gross at least for most
Al Pastor is the test of a good cooks hand and most cooks suck when it comes to this style of meat for tacos at least from my experience.


The standard taco is in fact Carne asada, should you find a place that has Arrachera go for that instead it will be most costly ... it is the price you must pay for a little insurance.

Never ask for chicken, ribs or any other meat that is best cooked with the bone in instead ask for a order and not a taco. The Chicken/rib order must be pulled from the bone and prepared yourself. Good taqueros are busy taqueros and will not have time to pull every bone out of every chicken taco ordered.

Try the salsas this is imperative /the right salsa on two exact tacos means so much ... one salsa may suit a taco fine and the other salsa can actually make the second taco outstanding. Skipping salsa is a major flaw in eating tacos as is adding all the salsas in one taco thinging you had made some sort of shortcut to taco
add some lime
add some salt
Try stuff out see what works best for you good luck. TIP try ordering two tacos at a time that way the tortillas never get cold.

>>5519011
What mexican food have you tasted and disliked? Also, what do you mean for "authentic mexican food", the one mexicans eat or the one americans eat?

>>5519759
well I've had tacos, burritos, etc. I also tried stuff like pazole. Pazole was ehhh, like i didn't not like it, but there is better food so what's the point in eating it. as for tacos and americanized food its mediocre or bad. I don't really care if its american like texmex or real authentic as long as its good and won't kill me

>>5519469
Thanks, will do

my favorites to get from a local place

ARROZ CON POLLO
Tender sliced chicken breast specially prepared with fresh
mushrooms, onions and green peppers served on a bed of rice
with melted Monterey Jack cheese, topped with our special
mild sauce and garnished with avocado and tomato. Served
with warm tortillas. 8.99

BURRITO EXPRESO
Pork “chile verde”, rice, beans and cheese wrapped in a flour
tortilla. Topped with guacamole, fresh tomatoes, onions,
Parmesan cheese and enchilada sauce. 8.29

Your choice of steak or chicken, marinated in our very own
fajita sauce, delivered sizzling hot over sauteed onions and
green peppers. With pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole,
Spanish rice, refried or Rancho (cholesterol-free)beans on the
side and your choice of warm flour or corn tortillas. 8.49

they also make this thing called nachos idaho which is like nacho stuff in potato skins

>>5519162
Fajitas are great when cooking for a few people, it's a bit too much work for just yourself, but the recipe is easily scaled. Can be made on either a stovetop or grill.

http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2013/03/beef-fajitas/

Instead of the salsa I serve it with pico de gallo, and guacamole. (the pico is a component in the guac)

Dude what's going on, first you're talking about pizza you actually made, and now you're eating "ethnic" food?

Who are you and what did you do to the tripfag formerly known as opiate9fy?

>>5519794
this type of mexican food is almost american like chinese takeout and who hasn't tried to make their own pizza just to find out it's shit?

>>5519810

You have valid points, but it's still shocking.

>>5519759
I'm a hipster when it comes to Mexican food. Tamales, Pozole, Menudo are always a no no when I eat in Mehico.

>>5519882
>I'm a hipster when it comes to
Don't say that. That's not what that means and you sounds like a tool.

I can't remember the name, but this mexican place in the city has some of the best fish I've ever had. It's is a redish/gray fish, they scale it, and slice the filet, stuff it with some herbs and spice, and roast the fish whole, and serve it whole.

>>5519882
What kind of tamales have you tasted? Every region has their own kind of tamales. Maybe you would like tamales de elote (pic), they don't have any meat, they are kind of sweet.

I don't blame you for not liking Pozole or Menudo, my bf doesn't like them either, but i do. They have some strong smell that isn't easy to get used.

>>5519926
That looks to me like some "pescado sarandeado", only we add mayonnaise.

birria is the GOAT sunday hangover lunch, literally.

>>5519965
>I don't blame you for not liking Pozole or Menudo, my bf doesn't like them either, but i do. They have some strong smell that isn't easy to get used.
As cows have several stomachs, the taste and especially scent varies based on which one you use. Last time I used book tripe and it was pretty good.

>>5519965
I've had menduo twice
Once at a diner and the other time at a friends house.

Is it normal for the menudo broth to be extremely bland? By looks, it seems like it should be packed with tomato-y flavor or some sort of spice. But no, both times I've had it, it was the most boring thing I've ever tasted. The tripe didn't even bother me, it's the god damn broth. I had to add a heaping amount of salt and lemon for it to be somewhat edible.

I really wanted to enjoy it too. Guess menudo is not for me.

>>5519011
burritos, jesus christ do i love me a good burrito from taco bell

>>5519982
what does goat mean?

>>5519011
I'm a fan of this shredded chicken burrito recipe.

http://davidsfreerecipes.com/shredded-chicken-burrito-recipe

I usually do the spices to taste and add a few other spices to taste. basically i wing it. always good though.

>>5520010
I don't know. Menudo i eat has a bland broth. Then we add some fresh onion, cilantro and lemon (some add salt, too). It doesn't have any tomato. But once i tasted a menudo that looked more like pozole to me. I think there are other types of menudo that i haven't still tasted.

>>5519989
So you like cooking, that's good. I've never cooked menudo on my own, i eat it outside home.

>>5519965
Those are nice with some tomatillo salsa and crema. Where are you from?

>>5519976
Sinaloa?

>>5519145
try to avoid Birria in your typical Mexican joint. Birria is one the greatest things if done right. Make sure you eat birria done by specialists, aka places that only serve birria. Same thing with Barbacoa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NTJSV7X9Oc

>>5519011
It's very simple food, some of the best stuff, OP. You might enjoy making a pitcher of homemade horchata or an aqua fresca, or some warm hot chocolate on a cool night (buy the ibarra or abeulita), or some maizena atole mix for breakfast. I like coconut or cinnamon. It's like thick custard, good at bedtime too. Of course a green chilaquiles with shredded chicken is my ultimate comfort food at breakfast. That or molletes, but I can't find the rolls where I live, and they should be sourdough. (I have a recipe from a ck/ anon, still need to make em!).

My favorite thing in the whole world is homemade mexican soups. Try a sopa de tortilla or lima, with all the fixins, but keep in mind, a remarkable soup is made with homemade stock in the flavors of that country. Invest in a pressure cooker, or invest in the time to cook those bones! To make a good soup and most mexican recipes, you need dried chilies like anchos, soaked and pureed.

I love a turkey or chicken mole, but that's pro mode. Save it. Tamales are pro-mode, too. I'd make some tinga, or birria tacos for a first endeavor.

>>5520173
>Make sure you eat birria done by specialists
This is accurate the food takes far too long to make it is the only way to make it as if it is homemade. Many mexican dishes fit in this category. These special dishes are often sold at festivals they can range from not bad to hot damn. These dishes are also some of the favorites at family affairs like weddings and first born celebrations.

It is nice to see white people getting trolled the shit out of them by wetbacks and villagers.

HOLY FUCK

>>5519011
>tfw Mexican
>tfw "authentic" mexican food to me is just my mom's recipe's

I always find it weird when people talk about mexican food like if it's something they only eat once in a while, or how they say they like or don't like mexican food.

>>5520173
Sure fagot only in the misty magic mountain in the deepest part of the mexican countryside it is the REAL MUCHO very very GOOD autentinco birria and of course you eat there.


I know theres another Mexibro who gets crazy mad by all this bitches who claim know how to authentic very mucho bonito real food but whenever they post recipes theyre from blogs, therealmexicanplace.com or some stupid shit like that.

>>5520356

There is this local Mexican place that was this Pollo Chipotle dish that is out of this fucking world. It's a massive dish heaping with white rice, shredded chicken, peppers, onions, cilantro, oaxaca cheese and a creamy yet spicy chipotle pepper sauce. Wash it down with Reposado tequila & Jarrito's Grapefruit soda and lime juice and oh lawdy lawdy lawdy.

>>5520356
Huh? I'm not a wetback. I'm pre-revolutionary war american descent, combined with irish, swiss german, english. Nice try. My father was an exec for Pan Am. During my school days, we had an apt in the Zona Rosa, and I went every other weekend for funsies/shopping/eating.

I didn't give any of my recipes, because I knew I was going to character limit all my favorites in my ramble. Mexican food is far more about technique than the recipe, so GIYF. I have the ideas. Want more on a particular recipe? Fine. Ask. But, I don't like you so I might go to bed instead.

>>5520414

HAHA!
Please go to bed fagot.

>>5520414
>My father was an exec for Pan Am

>Pan Am didnt had "exec´s" operating since the 60´s
This is a lie.
Fuck you wetback.

>>5520451
how mad must you be care about someones lies on the internet

op here, i just wanted to say that things have gone south since i posted

Can we talk about food in Mexico and not your local taqueria ? I mean, do we have to fucking hear about the hole in the wall near your house that sells tongue tacos for 737237397th time?

>>5520456

>>5520468
is that any good? I havent seen any decent reviews of the cams up yet that dont have chinese hardcoded subs.

>>5520470
Haven't seen it myself

Been hearing it's pretty terrible though. Basically all the funny bits have already been shown in the trailer.
On the other hand, I guess if you enjoy Family Guy or whatever other stuff the guy has down, you'd probably enjoy it.

>>5520470
>>5520481
It's shit.

>>5520356
Burro? Have you finally been cooked to a crisp, you browning ass?

>>5520025
Punny, since birria is tradionally made with goat, but Greatest Of All Time

home made tamales ;-; so fricking good.

you can get one of these at a mexican supermarket for $2.50

chicharron delgado

>>5519078
its sope you dip shit

>>5519011
mexican food has a lot of bold and deep chiles

my favorite though is al pastor, a nice red chile with pinapple

it goes on any meat

>>5520745
>chicharron
Those are so good. A big sheet or two, recrisp them on a cookie sheet at home, with a squeeze of lime, chili salt, or hot sauce on top. So good with an ice cold beer and a movie night.

>>5521359
finely chop some sausages, lettuce and a cucumber without the skin, spread those ingredients on top of the chicharron and add lime, chili, salt, "chamoy" on top, this is called "viejita" o "chimichanga" in Mexico, it's delicious as a snack.

>>5519011
How about some cazuela de res? Seems authentic enough for me

Have you tried out 'ceviche de pescado' or 'aguachile'? Mexican seafood is delicious and it's extremely easy to make.

>>5521430
Here's a pic of 'Aguachile'
It's basically headless shrimp cooked in spicy lemon juice

>>5521441
Most ceviche in Mexico sucks. I hate that the seafood is "minced" Good thing that I've tried other variations and upscale takes on it as well.

Aguachile is very good, I had one in a molcajete, but they served it with v8 and dried chile is this normal?

>>5520745
If you guys like chicharon, then tried chicharron prensado, pork candy. Hard to find in the us

>>5521479
>Aguachile is very good, I had one in a molcajete, but they served it with v8 and dried chile is this normal?
That sounds a bit weird, they usually put V8 in other dishes like 'Ceviche' or 'Molcajete', Aguachile is supposed to have a spicy/sour lemon flavor, but recipes might vary from region to region.

Here is a picture of Molcajete for reference, they normally add v8 and shrimp stock into it. As you can see it has several types of seafood in it, 'Aguachile' only has shrimps in it.

You should try seafood recipes from the northwest of Mexico (e.g. sinaloa), it's generally better than the recipes from the south

>>5521496
These are called 'Callo de hacha', they're scallops.

Add some onions, cucumbers, pepper, salt, lemon and some hot sauce and you're good to go, they're delicious
