They love their burritos in Texas...

Only thing I miss about CA is Santana's, which was cheap delicious drive through friendly and offered carne asada nachos. No Mexican joint I've found in WA is as good.

I don't. They are foul things in my eyes.

People don't seem to realize there was a reason Tejas wanted to be part of the United States, not part of Mexico. I continue to believe that this was because of the food.

And then there is New Mexico/southwestern Mexican. That is wonderful, but hard to find. I need to get back to Santa Fe.

I get that whenever I get to Las Cruces and have found hte Mexican chow around Terlingua to be of that sort.  Yum.

Next time you're in Las cruces, go to Si Senor,  or make the trip to El Paso to Carnitas Queretaro.
Queretaro is the best mexican place in el paso, hands down.

When I was little we used to go to a Mexican place in Austin.  It seems like it was near downtown/Congress Ave.  I can remember that it was in an old adobe type building/house with thick walls, arched doorways, and little rooms with only 2 or 3 tables each.

Probably long since gone - this was 50+ years ago...

The Alamo?  No wait, that's in San Antonio.

I've been to the Alamo at about that same time frame.  The rooms were definitely bigger there

Well, I could see being upset if Mamacita's in Kerrville was closed.  However, can't you just go down the street to another taco joint?

We gave one of the Compound Kids a coupla crunchy double-cheesy $0.99 burritos. Kid made 'em go away, along with a buncha caffeine.
 
Somewhat later, there was a trip to the bathroom, followed by much bitching about "too spicy food."

Once you get used to good Tex-Mex, just any old place won't cut it.
