As a Kid the only few people that slightly hated on TexMex food is people that just arrived here from Mexico, Central and South America whom say thats not real Mexican food.... Which me as a kid would say or think " Obviously, the name is literally self explanatory as a hybrid of cuisines... " And tbh theres a ton of blended hybrid cuisines of every dish from the country that has a bit of a Texas twist to it. German, Italian, British, middle eastern and South/central american all in Texas. We got it all imo

Great point, and my opinion is that these kinds of people are just trying to find some way of putting something down, so they can feel better about themselves. We don't need any input from the Food Police, to tell us what food is okay to eat.

Tex Mex is a for the English & German pallet. It’s canned garbage 😂

@@ghernandez2263 We often forget that the people who made Tex-Mex are of Mexican heritage, meaning that the same cooking style is Mexican. Bad Tex-Mex comes from corporate restaurants like On the Border or Chilis, and good Tex-Mex comes from family-owned restaurants.

@@PaulyWally30 I don’t know who created Tex Mex but I do know it’s was made for non Mexicans. Most restaurants are Tex Mex bc it’s cheaper to buy yellow cheese as opposed to queso fresco or Oaxaca, it’s cheaper to buy canned food that’s to get fresh food & meat from a butcher shop

The dish was created by the Tejanos/Mexicanos using the ingredients available to them at the time. They did not have access to ingredients from Oaxaca, and I don't believe Mexicans from the northern states used ingredients from southern Mexico at that time. It's important to remember that northern Mexico has a different culture from central and southern Mexico, and Tejanos are more culturally connected to the north of Mexico. Over time, Tex-Mex cuisine adapted to suit non-Tejano palates, but eventually, people became more adventurous with their tastes, and we returned to the authentic style. That's where you'll find the authentic Tex-Mex at mom-and-pop restaurants, not corporate ones. Another thing to add is that it’s only Tex-Mex for non-tejanos-Mexicanos. But we Tejanos have always called it Mexican food, not Tex-Mex. If someone calls it Tex-Mex, they are not Tejanos.

I love and appreciate you all when you do stories like this to let us know of the good spots around town to eat at. New and Old. I don't get out like I used to, so it really helps me to know and be reminded of what San Antonio has so we stay in touch with those delicious hot spots and help keep them in business. Thank you Kens5😋now I'm hungry

I cook a lot of Tex Mex at home. Ordinarily, I use white cheese like Oaxaca and queso fresco, and finish it all up with grated cotija cheese 😋 I also prefer to make my own refried beans🫘 Gotta go, tengo hambre ...

That rice and beans combo hits with them enchiladas

There’s much more info to discuss about this topic alone. Tex-Mex cuisine has a history and societal impact. However, I can understand the distaste of the negative aspects of Tex-Mex food. However, I challenge those who think that to think about African American cuisine and its history. Now, the stories of its upbringing are different. But how we share the sense of pride with our heritage is what I’m trying to convey.

I went to Denver Colorado and food didn't taste the same over there.... I even went to New Zealand and the Mexican food over there didn't taste the same as in San Antonio 😂

I'm so tired of these people constantly trying to add politics to food. Everybody has the right to make and eat whatever food they want, without any input from snarky dbags who want to blabber about the past, as a way to feel better than everybody else.

Food Critics like Guy Fiery that has oversized Chicken McNuggets on a bun on the menu at his "Flavortown" restaurants? If we depended on Food Critics for dinner most of us would probably starve to death. Often what "Food Critics" consider Delicious, we consider it Atrocious.
