I lived in San Diego for a couple years, there is NO Mexican food
there... NO border food is Mexican food... Mexican's do NOT eat that
Taco Bellish shit. Mexico is a huge country, there is no one Mexican
cusine, but they simply do NOT eat tacos, nachos, chili, burritos, and
that ilk... then you may as well say US Chinese take-out is authentic
Chinese cusine. Julie Bove, Sqwertz, and Bwrrryan haven't the
slightest clue what Mexicans eat... there is NO Mexican food in all of
Texass, NONE! Mexicans don't even eat refried beans, they never
heard of such crap. I've been all through Mexico, regular folks there
mostly eat a lot eggs, chicken, and they eat a LOT of seafood and a
tremendous quantity of fresh veggies and fruit. Mexicans don't eat
anything resembling what Americans think is Mexican food.
