I don't care. I just can't see why they keep calling my food Tex Mex.
Apparently the crisp tacos are. And the chili but I don't get that at all.
Mexican places here don't serve chili and the places who do serve chili do
not usually serve Texas style chili. Some places do Chili Colorado which
seems always to be made with pork. Not loving meat, I've never tried it. But
here's a recipe for it with beef, claiming it to be authentic Mexican.

There is only one. They are in Seattle. I don't live in Seattle and wouldn't
drive there for food. Prices are higher for one thing. I'll post the link to
the Taqueria we like. It does not list the prices for the University Village
location. Why? Higher prices.

No queso dip there!

Could be. I've only seen that brand here at Dollar Tree and not recently.
