>mex > tex-mex
You GTFO

>>5734737
Tex-Mex sux, but you have to do better to start a conversation about good Mexican food.

>>5734737

The subject was supposed to be "Latino Foods" but 4chan is a bitch sometimes

lurk moar

Whenever I post pasteles but mistake it for some Russian cake.

My parents don't support my yuppy, vegan hippy cooking choices. I guess it's expected when everything has pork and beef

Opinions discarded.

Tex Mex isn't latino.

>>5734852
It's BETTER than latino

>>5734863
Tex Mex is neck and neck with Midwest cooking for worst American cuisine. Even New Mexico laughs at you, which is pretty fucking pathetic.

>>5734872

What's more funny is that new mexico thinks its in a position to laugh about it.

Don't get me wrong, Tex-mex isn't exactly high on my list of cuisines. But who's even heard of new mexican cusine aside from the hatch pepper? It's basically unheard of outside of new mexico. On the other hand I've been to a tex-mex restaurant in fucking denmark. (yes, that was as bad as it sounds, but at least it's known)

>>5734863

Gringo, stop trolling. Your stupid hard tacos aren't better than actual Mexican food, and I'm not even Mexican.

>>5734890
Well, at least I have a head.

>>5734890
Tex mex food:
Clean
Edible
Not made of bugs, refuse or random fungus you found in the crops

Actual mexican food:
Unclean
Gag inducing
Africa tier ingredients

>>5734914
>Tex mex food
>fatty slop covered in cheese

>Actual Mexican food
>fresh and fucking tasty

lmao no

I don't even dislike tex mex if it's well prepared (no, I don't mean fucking Chili's), I'm not some snob who inherently hates any sort of fusion just because. It's not like it markets itself as traditional food.

But if you were to directly compare it to latino food, which it seems like you're doing, I can't possibly agree that it's anywhere near as good as real latino food.

>>5734919
Cheese is good
Freshly picked ants are not

>>5734943
>Cheese is good
True. But mushy slop covered in cheese is pathetic.

Face it, Texas: your BBQ brisket is god tier, but your take on Mexican is just a can of Cream of Mushroom short of a shitty casserole.

>>5734943

Actually bugs are pretty good if cooked right apparently

You wretched bastards, new Mexican cuisine is way better than ANYTHING mentioned in this thread.

>>5735065

>better than Arroz con Gandules and pasteles

You are wrong on every level

>>5734890
Hard tacos are actually from California, NOT Texas. They are not Tex-Mex, even though lots of places use crispy fried tortilla taco shells.

>>5734956
Well that's just stupid and wrong.

Why do Americans hate Texmex? I'm European and I love Texmex. Seems to me that Texmex hate is more about fedora tipping than anything else.

>>5735794

We don't, we hate people thinking it's Mexican.

>>5735616
Not in a million years anon.

>>5735830
But this entire thread is basically about hating Texmex. Not any confusion with Mexican food.

>>5735794

Texmex is seen as an inauthentic imitation lacking character and robust flavors. Every state along (or even near) the Mexican border has their own specific version of Mexican cuisine, and we all spend our time squabbling over whose is the best.

Which is stupid, of course, because New Mexican is clearly the best. I don't even know why there's any argument.

>>5735864
My minority!
You tell em.
Fist bump yo.

>>5735864
I'd love to visit both New Mexico and Texas. Maybe some day.

>>5735794
because in most parts of the country it is puke worthy garbage. I'm a texan whos traveled a lot and will eat random tex mex in other states, it isn't pretty. most of the stuff here in tex is really good and is my fave kind of food. I say texas is best but I'm not too proud to not vouch for new mexico, arizona, and so-cal. I've had some amazing "mexican" food there. its not quite the same as tex mex but its really good.

>>5734757
the only bitch I see is you, Senior Frijolero.

>>5735925

Go for it. Texas is essentially a country unto itself. It's home to 4 of the 10 largest cities in the country, so it has a fairly urbane and cosmopolitan population. It's also home to a good chunk of the backwards "country folk" in the United States. Every region is like its own state, which also adds to the intrigue.

New Mexico is insanely gorgeous (compared to the endless flatness that comprises most of Texas), but if you come from a busy metropolitan center, prepare for some culture shock. There are just over two million people spread out over an area about the size of Norway or Poland, and most of them are in a narrow 100km strip along the central corridor.

>>5736020
New Mexico is different from anywhere on the planet.

>>5734956
Where exactly are you eating this "texmex"? I'm in Houston and we have a lot of Authentic style mexican food as well as a shit ton of tex mex, and all the tex mex is made by mexicans. If you're eating this flyover state "tex mex" then yeah they may be using cream of mushroom and hiding everything under cheese but that is just not the case with authentic tex mex. I wish other states would drop the tex from their food and start naming it after their state like virginia mex or something. It would make more sense that it's garbage then and it would stop giving us such a bad name.

>>5735968
This guy says it well, some other boarder states that have authentic mexicans have decent versions of mexican food, the rest of you guys can get fucked for trying to compare your garbage tex mex to our food fucking plebs.

pic related some of the worst tex mex I've had in texas but is still better than the crap Ive had out of state.

>>5739893
wrong pic, meant to post pic related, that was a weird place in Austin called super burrito

>>5739899
Austin? Weird? You're just making shit up now, redneck.
