Mexican food: 150,000 ingredients including 20,000 kinds of maize alone. Farmers resist Monsanto frankenfoods despite mafia-style intimidation

American "mexican" food: Beef, tomatoes, onoins, jalapeño peppers, pre-shredded monterey (sic) jack cheese, and flour tortillas. All food is soaked in antibiotics and roundup

I realize Mexico has a lot of regional variety, but the Mexican food in Texas is virtually identical to the one across the border in Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon: Barbacoa, bistek, piratas, trompo, enchiladas rojas, etc. This is of course Mexican food we're referring to--not texmex.

I very much prefer Mexican food for texmex. Texmex meat is good, but you can get beef just as good in northern Mexico, with the extension of dishes like cabrito. Mole and enchiladas rojas are god tier, as is cuisine from southern Mexico: purple and blue tortillas, squash flower, mushroom tacos, sweet corn tamales. Tinga good too. The yellow cheese of texmex kind of ruins stuff for me. I'd rather have enchiladas with queso fresco and i'd rather have queso chihuahua with my meat. Hell, I even prefer burgers in Mexico to burgers in America.

[Anonymous No.4917761]

The best mexican comes in shacks.

These people are almost always recent immigrants who want to make a better lives for themselves. They go into the always risky food business, because they were great cooks back in Mexico, and they're really good at what they do, so it's a natural transitions.

So yeah, if you want really good Mexican food, go to shacks and roadside stands and food vans.

Unfortunately the really good ones make enough money to get a proper restaurant. Which is fine in and of itself, but usually over the years and years the food diminishes in quality. The original owners becoming burned out by fat white idiot Americas, asking for the mcfajitas, hold the spices, extra ketchup, with a side of fries.

Given HFCS costs more than sugar in Mexico because it's not ridiculously subsidized like in the US, why exactly would the cheap brands there use a more expensive sweetener? Heinz doesn't use real sugar in Mexican (or Australian or Canadian or European) ketchup to be "fancy," they use it because it's cheaper than HFCS in most places in the world.

>>4918790
>Given HFCS costs more than sugar in Mexico because it's not ridiculously subsidized like in the US
You're not wrong, and this is veering wildly off-topic, but that's only half of the equation. Sugar imports to the US are also ridiculously tariffed thanks to the efforts of American Sugar Refining (parent of Domino, C&H, and all other major American cane sugar brands), and domestic sugar prices are ridiculously high due to price supports that guarantee high prices regardless of market conditions.
