I live in Mexico, what do?

>>7698336
Post a pic of your favourite restarurant that serves mexican style food?

>>7698388

>>7698378
What about my local market?
Mercado Hidalgo inTijuana, I am going so I might as well take some pictures

>>7698308
I love this place when I am dickered at 2am

>>7698412

You seem like such a fag.

>>7698419

>>7698408
Go to tacos fito and that little seafood shack next to it . Mariscos el conchal I think.

>>7698640
I fucking love rolled tacos and guac.

Carne asada fries 4 U mah nigga.
Go bolts

>>7698408
>Mercado Hidalgo

go to carnitas kiko

>>7698624
I think every restaurant or fastfood place let's you choose what you want to eat.
Also, I suggest you try a more diverse diet for yourself.

>>7698790
theres 100's of places to eat around me but I eat mexican food daily as a quick bite. Its diverse enough. pic related

this meme is fucking high quality

>>7698308
why does my brain want to order this tray of food when i know for sure my stomach would be almost bursting after 1/3rd of it

I didn't go to Mercado Hidalgo yesterday, but I went to Tijuana's Book fair at CECUT, there were some interesting items
>A little bit overcrowded but all in that BBQ was delicious

>>7700686
And this is what they served
The drinks back there were strawberry with basil and Guayaba

>>7700699
Churros with chocolate, cajeta and vanilla cream. Pic related is vanilla

>>7700702
And lastly the original Caesar Salad (or aviators salad as it was first named)

>>7700705
Thinking of going to the Original Caesars in TJ. Have you been there?

This is $8.50

I love this place

>>7700812
I have, very /comfy/

>>7700808
I love Acapulco tropical but the nearest one is an hour away so I don't go there often but their floutas are so damn good

>>7698864
I would eat at my local taco truck 3-4 times a week if I had the money. It's delicious and they have a lot of different shit.

Where do you live?

>>7700808
Seems weird to me that they also have english. Is that normal?

>>7701342
Tijuana is right over the US border, so I'm sure they have a lot of tourists from the US

Also, why is the price listed in USD?

>>7701342
its a semi touristy area.

>>7698308
there's no mexican restaurant in my city, I'm not american.

>>7698336
I'd cry.

>>7701352

>>7701356
Mexico is probably awesome if you're not poor

common all over tj, rosarito, ensenada most of baja will take us dollars. tho some tiendas modify the exchange rate when you pay with dollars.

>>7701358
do you really think a mobster would spend his time on 4chan?

>>7701364
a big chunk of Mexicans live comfy, middle class lifestyles
>>7701362
interesting. Is Monterrey also like that?

>>7701371
>a big chunk of Mexicans live comfy, middle class lifestyles
a big chunk of mexicans are cartels

>>7701342
>>7701347
Acapulco tropical is all over the USA have you people never seen one?

>>7698379

>>7701392
no, I live in New York. I thought he mentioned Tijuana, though.

>>7701392
do you live in florida by any chance?

>>7701392

>i've never left my town and assume everyone has the same stuff where they live

>>7701371
>Monterrey

its a big city and sometimes its just easier to exchange at the banks, some require an account to exchange dollars to mxn some dont or try one of the cambios.
if you must carry dollars keep all your bills smaller than 20. its a pain in the ass to wait in back of some jackass who thinks they can exchange a 50 or 100 bill at a tiny tienda like its a circle k market in the states.

>>7701392
I've lived in CA, MN, WI, IL, OH, NJ, and NY and I've never even heard of this place. What do you mean by "all over the US"? Does US stand for something else to you? Union of South Africa? United States of Mexico?

>>7701364
I could become a mobster if that makes you more comfortable :^)
>>7701356
Yeah I cry, every time I toast chile de árbol indoors. It gives it a lot of flavor to any fish or shrimp but it takes tears even from the most manly (Or those assholes who can cook outdoors any time they want)

I need to try fried lemon slices.

>>7701463
That is fried banana, and if you haven't tried those then do it

almejas. yum.

we have a small bungalow in col vicente guerrero a little bit south of Tj. When we drive through town we always stop at the market and order food at chicos almeja bar on the side of the road. The clams are huge here. Most of what ensenada and tj consume come from the bays in this area.

>>7701621
Is Mexico we call all of those "plátanos" so when translating they all come out as "banana". Unless you want to spend God knows how much time explaning why we call that banana "Plátano Limón" (Lemon Banana) and that other one "Plátano Macho" (Male Banana)

>>7701641

>>7701754
I am in Mexico, there is no way that I am leaving all this food behind

>>7701754
Fuck off manlet.

I love my local place because it's authentic, but they also give you the option to order it "american style", aka cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and tomato. I almost always get it mexican style, but it's a nice option to have if I'm in the mood for more tex-mex style food

>>7698308

>>7698320
Bah! bruh. There are those one dollar sign rated restaurants you regret going cause half of the plate is already pre-made and this one of em.

Try Food trucks. Some might serve plate dishes.

>>7698624
This menu kinda expensive.

>>7701434
I second this. Has a lot of salsa roja. Its going to cut you a nuevo ano.

>>7702742
The food truck I go to serves plate dishes. They cook them right in front of you, too.
>>7702756
Here in NY 2.50-3.00 per taco is the norm, even in Mexican neighborhoods

>>7702792
>2.50-3.00 per taco is the norm

how horrifying

>>7702797
they've been very good so far, though. I hear that trucks in the West Coast sell tacos for 1 dollar, I wonder how good those are.

>>7702802
90% of the tacos that sell for 1 dollar are shit. There's no way you're gonna find 1 dollar tacos with homemade tortillas at that price

>>7702742

>>7702811
Even the 3 dollar ones I just mentioned use premade tortillas. But, they seem to use good ingredients.

I have to imagine that a taco that sells for 1 dollar isn't exactly high quality. I'm wondering if they're authentic style at least, or are they taco bell tier.

Basically the place where all the Mexicans eat
Unfortunately it's becomes super popular here and they've been straying to cater to a more American taste
Thankfully they've only added to the menu and not replaced though

>>7702374
damn that's a lot of cilantro

I just found this, it has ads from many food related stuff near Tijuana, I could scan it and upload it

>>7702822
I just find it hard to believe that you're going to find quality tacos for a dollar. One of the best taquerias in my town (based off a tijuana chain) serves tacos at $ 2.00, and they have store bought tortillas.

Then you have this

http://www.guisados.co/menu/
Hand made tortillas and taco start at $2.75.

>>7702887
I agree, I think it would be hard to sell quality tacos for a dollar and make enough profit.

Do the hand made tortillas really make that much of a difference, though?

>>7702866
>Tijuana
Haven't been there since 2013.. I was devastated when I found out they took down kentucky fried buches. Looks like the new restaurants are taking out the clientele

>>7702898
Home made tortillas makes any mexican food meal significantly better, I'd say yes. They smell as good as they taste as well. Those blue corn tortillas they use in central mexico for quesadillas still haunt me to this day.

>>7702924
I'm sure they taste great, but it still tastes amazing even with the store brought tortillas (at the place I go to). I got a tilapia taco though, and the fish they used looked and tasted so fresh. So I do think they care about quality at least.

>>7702899
Have you seen that South Park episode on where the town puts on a shit ton of restaurants in order to appear modern and get a WholeFoods build in town? The same happened here but without the whole foods, more like

How are the salsas? The salsas make a difference as well.

>>7702941
>cevicheria nais
awww yeah nigga. the red snapper tostada is one of my favs

>>7702966
The Salsa Verde is really good, I don't have the Salsa Roja only because overly spicy things often make me shit my brains out the next day.

A typical order for me is a tilapia, al pastor, and a tinga. I put salsa verde, radishes, and lime in them.

>>7702979
How do you eat a tostada without making a mess?

>>7702989
You can't

Out of curiosity, does he ever not like the food he tries?

>>7703014
I actually really fucking like La Guerrerense
They even got a fucking website
>http://homepage.laguerrerense.com/

>>7703014
I would love to try that, if there's anything even remotely similar in NYC I'd love to know

>>7703029
I think he tried Iguana once and hated it. He also stated he hated the food in cambodia as well. Then he went on to say Mexican food is the most underrated cuisine in the world, especially Baja

>>7703047
Is Mexican food really underrated, though?

Mexican food is widely considered to be among the best in the world.

It's my personal favorite.

>>7703047
FUCK YES BAJA!!!
...
Yes... The food here is surprisingly good, and this is someone from Sinaloa talking

>>7702822
these are basic dollar tacos from a truck nearby. Theyre not the best taco as far as taco trucks go but for a buck theyre a fast bite and far better than anything taco bell makes.

>>7703069
What about Baja California Sur?

>>7703071
They look better than I expected. They look authentic, just a little understuffed.

>>7703043
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/30/dining/anthony-bourdain-market-pier-57.html

Guess you might get your wish.

>>7703072
Does not exist...
jk
I really want to go there but more for the nature and cities, I know nothing about the food there

>>7703072
Baja caters mostly to locals, Sur caters to tourists.

>>7703062
Most people outside of North America see Mexican as Nachos, taco salad and chimichangas. Even in the US, this is the common view.

>>7698336
Get shot by a cartel?

>>7703083
That might be because not that many Mexicans have emigrated to places other than the US

I could be wrong about that, but I'm pretty sure it's hard to find authentic Mexican food in most of Europe, Asia, Africa, etc.

>>7703069
What are your favorite places to eat in Baja?

These Anthony Bourdain videos are addicting

I can only find snippets on youtube though, I wonder if my local library has more

>>7703082
Wouldn't Baja have more tourists, given that it's closer to California?

>>7703123
Yeah. But Sur is more of that typical resort destination with Gringos in sombreros and sandals that frequent Senor frogs. Baja is more like a hipster haven now. Craft beer,food trucks, Mezcal bars, and even fucking hawker centers.

>>7703113
I live in Tijuana, so the list would never end, but right now I am craving Tacos Salseados, very small place but the tacos are very good

>>7703157

these are some $1 tacos al pastor I get quite frequently, in /houston having a basic $1 taco is how they compete, most all trucks have them, they arent huge and usually just come with meat onion and cilantro and salsa and usually a side of grilled onions and peppers, some places even give free charro beans with every order

this from local texmex place i been going to since like 1987, mediocre but i like it

Had to go on Yelp but alright

>>7709841
where dis? looks like the stuffed avocado i get at los cucos in houston occasionally, p dank m8

las vegas

i prefer tortas to burritos, is there any hope for me

>>7710008
Tortas are objectively better

>>7710013
this spot near me in brooklyn makes the most out of this world tortas ive ever had outside of california. euphoria with every bite

>>7709860
looks generic as fuck

>>7702797
in Mexico tacos are like 25 to 30cents

I'll take a huge portion of beans amd rice over skimp portion of meat and dressings... cept these days when I ask for a bean and rice (poor people) burrito they check the price on the veggie. burrito and still want 8fucking dollars
every once in a while the rest errant person will realize I'm poor and hungry and hook it up for like 3bux

>>7707946
I live by these guys, they take in so much cash from the neighborhood. they have like 5trucks in the neighborhood (two of them across from each other) and aalllwwaayyyysss have a line... fucking 10$ for a burrito

>>7708544
so sad. they left those beans unseasoned, didn't they?

>>7710020
Where is it?

>>7710674
10 dollars better be for a huge ass burrito, even the overpriced truck I go to only charges 7

>>7702842

I like the flour tortillas, I like them a lot more than corn but every place has corn

>>7710674
in Mexico tacos are like 25 to 30cents

I don't remember the last time Ive eaten a taco for that price;Then again I skip on the crappy tacos as well. Same rule applies in the us. If you're only eating 1 dollar tacos, then you're doing it wrong

>>7710916
Maybe look for a place that does Northern Mexican cuisine

>>7710922
So how much is a good taco in Mexico, like a dollar? And at least 2 dollars in the US?

>>7710782

fatty daddy taco in park slope. their burritos are actually kinda wack desu

>>7710977
I don't think the selling point of the Puebla style places we have is usually burritos.

But thanks, I'll check it out.

>>7710926
In Mexico?depends on the region. Northern Mexico and DF will be higher than oaxaca or guerrero. Also depending on the type of taco. I would say around 75 cents would be the norm.

>>7711008
Let's just say a typical bistec taco

>>7710922
>If you're only eating 1 dollar tacos

If you're eating tacos that cost 2-3 dollars you're doing it wrong. And that statement right there makes you a raging faggot.

>>7711014
I'm gonna go ahead and say al pastor can be around 70 cents while bistec will cost more.

>>7711046
Find me a lamb barbacoa taco or carne asada tacos that are cooked with mesquite/charcoal for a dollar in LA.

>>7711050
I thought al pastor would cost more since the preparation is more tedious

spots for good tinga and al pastor tacos in NYC?

>>7711046
Really now?

>>7711121
those are some short hours, all the taco trucks where I live seem to be open pretty late

>>7711127
thanks, I'll be sure to check it out

what kind of place is it?

>>7711134
Hole in the wall type place

>>7711139
are there any waitstaff type Mexican restaurants in East Harlem or is it all little taquerias like that?

>>7711127
Those usually don't apply for Mariscos.

>>7711146
There are but they aren't fancy or anything
>>7711149
?

>>7711159
But mid range at least?

I hear there are some Mexican restaurants in Mott Haven that are really good

>>7698308
Is that the Poop Poop Platter?

>>7711162
I'm sure you will be able to find what you are looking for if you do a little research

>>7711159

>>7711129
Mariscos are usually for lunch in Mexico, while fritanga and al pastor can go as far as all night

>>7710926
5pesos a taco in my dad's town and it's 17pesos to the dollar

>>7710789
no, the days of huge 5dollar burritos are over. they do have a huge novelty size burrito for like 16bux

>>7711170
I was asking because I thought you lived in the neighborhood and were into Mexican food

Mexican Pizza.

From my hometown. I could probably eat an entire one of these platters myself.

>>7711295

Cheese enchilada special (friday), small order of chips, taco. Booyah!

>>7698308
Shoop a doop

I had the best fucking green pork tamales last week, too bad I don't have a pic.

>>7698779
That shit is not fucking mexican, stop this meme immediately

you really cant argue about the price of tacos because it's going to change by area so much, here in houston they have the competative $1 taco scene because we have so many mexicans with ow income and that's what helps sell, there are still places with $2-3 tacos, then theres Torchys...

places like LA are probably going to be more expensive because they can just charge a lot more there and get away with it I would assume, then someone in a place with no mexican population will be lucky if they can even find good tacos and pay whatever they have to pay. Cant compare to the 75cent tacos in mexico because if you have to live in mexico there should be a few perks...lol jk

>>7711874
Those $1 tacos - do they still stay down 8 hours later, or are you giving them back involuntarily?

>>7711879
Mexican food only makes you have to shit if it's low quality or if it's super spicy
