Oh, yeah, like Art sez, avoid east of I-35. I went down 1st Street IIRC, Caesar Chavez road just off I-35, as I saw chickens in the street and figured it must be a good area for Mexican food. It was not and everyone thought the tall, athletic white boy was a fed or a lost tourist. Couldn't leave fast enough.
If my experiences in Dallas are any comparison, it probably was a great area for Mexican food. You probably just didn't know the proper manner in which to ask for it. That would be with ten or twelve mexicans surroundinjg you as protective cover and telling the locals that you were their good buddy the immigration lawyer from DC or Tio "El Tejon" who is so respectful of his wife that he doesn't even touch her except when she demands it.

We've got a Ceaser Chavez road here in San Diego as well. I don't go there too often.
