Some of you Kansas Citians think you have good Mexican food. QUIT IT!!!!!!!!

That shrimp dish in the molcajete looks pretty awesome, though queso fresco ****s my stomach up.

I love queso fresco, so damn good. Molcajetes and chicken n dumplings is the best winter dish IMO.

cali is where it is at... basically eating in mexico

I rate California as having the best Mexican food. I was disappointed at the Mexican food in San Antonio last weekend. So close to Mexico even. Geezaz! They couldn't even do re-fried beans well. There was some seasoning in them that I just didn't care for. Or, maybe I just don't like the real thing.

That is some truly outstanding looking mexican food Inmem, is that you or the little miss' work?

I think that's a restaurant. BTW, Easy6, I'm making your Mediterranean Chicken dish right now.

Got a killer deal yesterday on a huge bag of mini french bread rolls and I've got two leftover chicken tits.

Gonna butter and toast the rolls, then double bread the chicken breasts with italian seasonings and fry them. Along with the rolls I picked up sliced provolone and a jar of marinara... so, italian breaded chicken with melted provolone and marinara on french bread.

Marinara in a jar? sue me, its friday and I dont wanna make scratch.

California "Mexican" food is good.

I ate authentic "Mexican" food in Mexico and it was also good.

I've also eaten "authentic" Mexican food in the Argentine district of Kansas City, Kansas. It's also good. (There's only 100,000 transplants from Mexico in KC, but apparently they don't know how to cook their traditional foods in KC. Who knew?)

Basically, it's meat, chilis, tortillas, salsa and some sort of white/yellow cheese. The cheese in Mexico where I ate was similar to cottage cheese that had been drained and pressed. I think it's called queso fresco, or something. Same taste as cottage cheese and salty.

Authentic mexican food is bland, it was probably authentic. American Mexican is where it's at.

Ya' know I was wondering if this was the case by the end of the weekend when I was leaving. We've got a lot of new Mexicans immigrants here, and a plethora of Mexican restaurants that have opened up over the past decade and they all suck for some reason. Flavorless.At least to me.

So I thought when I got slated to work in San Antonio at the end of last week I'd get really good Mexican. I was disappointed. The Chili Relleno was one of the better dishes but that was on the Riverwalk where tourists, like me go. The enchiladas—nope. Didn't care for the seasoning but it was still edible as opposed to the refried beans. And the cheese on top? Meh. The tacos were flavorless too. I was like wtf????? I had to wonder on the way home if I probably wouldn't like the real thing, if I ever had it.

The frozen Margaritas were very good tho.' And one restaurant's Queso dip.

But overall. Meh!

It's awesome. Or fabulous imo. The best I ever had has been in California.

Chicken fingers and steak fries with cream gravy and Oktoberfest,

I'm Sicilian. No lawsuits. I'm sending someone out there. LMAO


BTW the mediterranean chicken was very, very good. A nice change-up. I served it over pasta. Added, salad and wine. Also did make some cheesy garlic bread—just a little.
