I like corn and guacamole and salsa and hot sauce, so I’m a bit of a fan. My favourite thing in Mexican restaurants is ceviche, which I think is actually peruvian.

Had a lot of awful Mexican food too. Some of it is just cheese toasties (using tortillas) and tasteless beans and rice with some chillies thrown at it to make it taste of something. Not a burrito fan (which I know is practically blasphemy on here!!)
However the use of lime and chilli, which is one of the lovelies pairings, rescues it overall for me. solid 7.

Best food in my opinion! Went to Mexico years back and the food was incredible. Giant stuffed chilli peppers, mole stews, seafood soups. Also a fan of the standard Mexican stuff like burittos, enchiladas etc. Wish the more exotic stuff would make it over here though

You can’t blame Mexican food for that. That is people doing it wrong.

Only had one mediocre taco during our 3 weeks in Mexico and that was because of some grumpy, rushed poor decision making.

Should add that’s mole as in chocolate and chilli sauce!

Not sure I agree. I’m pretty sure the people at Bar Burrito aren’t doing burritos wrong, the problem is I just don’t like Burritos. It’s like eating slop.

Really love how around here nobody had really had any Mexican food cause it’s very countrysidey and weird but about 18 months ago a Mexican restaurant opened up in the town and now everyone’s gone fucking mad for it. Anyway, I’ve gone with a 10, love the flavour combinations and the freshness of adding lime etc. Gonna have to make slow cooked carnitas this week now.

Crisps with salsa and cheese is also a decent, if filthy, idea fair play to them

Oh I stand corrected! (never had a burrito in there- realised about 5 years or so ago that I just don’t like them! Even fancy ones I had had in London).

dunno about ‘wrong’ but they’re definitely a bit crap

far too expensive as well

Are we counting Tex Mex?
Really good tex mex is 1000000/10.

This thread is making me want enchiladas for dinner- anybody got a good vegetarian recipe?

Love everything about it, although Rick Stein’s Mexican cooking is a 1.

Can we go back to Mestizo pls @anon89873996 @ericVI @AQOS @roastthemonaspit?

Got to hand it to the Steinman for his relentless rejection of flavour
