It might be just us, but I have to admit we have struggled to find a good Mexican food place here in Texas. Of course we can get it with our Mexican family and friends, but it seems like what they represent to be Mexican food here is really Tex-Mex. I am not even trying to suggest Tex-Mex is not good or that it does not have its place. It is just that we really like Mexican food. We found the closest place yet today for lunch, but it was not nearly is close to real Mexican food as what we (actually took a long time to find) found in North Carolina and Oregon. I am going to start asking our Mexican family what we ought to try next, but we are a little bit suspicious that he conflates the two styles, too, in as much as he has spent the vast bulk of his life here.
