regional mexican food mystery
I recently moved to Tucson, AZ from Atlanta, GA and (as silly as it
sounds) I miss the Mexican food I enjoyed in the southeast. While
Tucson is considered one of the best U.S. cities for Mexican food it's
a lot different than the Mexican food I grew up eating in GA. Things
are just made differently. The rice is quite different and what I miss
the most is the abundance of white cheese melted on almost everything
that doesn't seem to be a part of Mexican cooking here in the SW. I
know that there's a big Sonoran influence in the food in Tucson but
don't know what influences Mexican food in the SE. Does anyone know
anything about these differences or where I can get a good old plate of
white cheese soaked Nachos in Tucson (nachos aren't on the menu hardly
anywhere and it's killing me!)?
