- AlbertCory 4y agoeasy there. I'm not Texan and never even spent much time there. But texmex is its own thing. If you look up "queso recipe" it often begins "take a pound of Velveeta."
- safety1st 4y agoGo easy on your parent, they're just parroting the 2005 version of Mexican food snobbery
- LBJsPNS 4y agoAnd therein lies the problem...
- staticautomatic 4y agoYeah and I get that, but I just don’t think TexMex is good, and I grew up in a part of the south where people fully believed it was real Mexican food.
- t-3 4y agoAmericanized Mexican food should be distinguished from formerly-Mexican food. The southwest has it's own food traditions which are often similar, but distinct, from contemporary Mexico-Mexican food. Dismissing those traditions as "TexMex", like they were made up by Anglos is both offensive and inaccurate.
