I'm dubious about the quality of Mexican food that one would be able to find in London. Is it any good?Quote:

Mexican cuisine is spreading pretty rapidly recently, I think. We even have a couple of Mexican places in my podunk (not quite, but small) city. I can't speak for London, but like with most exported food cultures it's rarely a very accurate representation of the original culture, but more of an assimilated version. I have no delusion that I'm getting 100% authentic Mexican when I go to a Mexican restaurant here, but it's smurfing delicious nonetheless. :D Mexican is a bit newer to the scene than Thai and the like, but it's the same principle.Quote:

Hahaha. :aimkiss: I do doubt the taste of any burritos people get from a state that doesn't border Mexico though. :p
considering my colleague at work El Heffe (or Dom as he likes to be known) is mexican and he rates the local burrito places I frequent as very good. I'm fairly certain my burrito experiences are awesome.
I live in Florida. It may not border Mexico directly but there are more than enough Mexicans here for us to have awesome Mexican food. Although the best place around where I lived closed about a year ago. :<
I went to Mexico a couple of years ago, although it wasn't what I call 'tourist' Mexico - it was proper Mexico. I was chilling with the indigenous. We couldn't eat their food because of the chance of parasites or something, so we had to have Qesadillas. Now let me tell you, you have not had a Qesadilla till you've had one in Mexico and it has been made with Oaxaca cheese. Man, I'd go back in a heartbeat just for that cheese..
Is it really spelled like that?Quote:

making Burritos for lunch right now, coincidentally, lol... tortillas wrapped around beef and been smothered in chilli and sprinkled with shreaded cheese, gawd i can't wait till they're done...
I am absolutely stuffed from mine! I actually feel a little bit sick :lol: I have very much over-indulged today though, need a food nap...Quote:

I'm spoiled by great burritos. However, even though I've had access to them for decades, I didn't really get into burrito-eating until about five years ago. I used to be super super simple with Mexican food, but now I've expanded my horizons significantly. (I did date a Mexican girl, so that might have influenced me somewhat.)
