WTF - lemons?

Mark.Ricca · February 22, 2011, 4:16am

Make lemonade.

Michael_Bowden · February 23, 2011, 7:34pm

That’s what they gave me. That said, I didn’t use them…and the tacos were damn good.

Cut the fat of the meat?

Bob_Wood · February 23, 2011, 8:41pm

Limes. Mexicans use lots and lots of limes.

Michael_Bowden · February 23, 2011, 8:42pm

If I was in Mexico maybe I would bitch about it…but I was in Texas.

Bob_Wood · February 23, 2011, 8:47pm

Those Texans eff everything up. Even in Oregon we get limes.

Jorge_Henriquez · February 23, 2011, 9:19pm

WTF - radishes?

Joe_Dulworth · February 23, 2011, 9:51pm

Yeah, all of us Texans do that. [bullshit.gif]

Bob_Wood · February 23, 2011, 10:24pm

Well, maybe not you, but I have two words for you. Shiner Bock.

Bob_Wood · February 23, 2011, 10:25pm

A very common garnish in Michoacan. Quit while yer behind, willya?

Joe_Dulworth · February 24, 2011, 2:42pm

So why you be hating Shiner Bock beeyatch?

Bob_Wood · February 24, 2011, 5:04pm

Because it sucks?

Jason_Hagen · February 27, 2011, 11:40pm

Nice. What meats did you get?

Texas does serve up some pretty lame “Mexican” food but once I switched my paradigm to think of it as a different animal, I have been able to enjoy a number of places.

Do they do the hot salsa thing up in DFW? (meaning served warm)

Looks like al pastor to me, but it just hit me. Only Texans would make a taco with a flour tortilla.

Jason_Hagen · February 28, 2011, 12:28am

I thought pastor with the 3rd pic but wasn’t sure if they were all the same.

I did notice the flour tortillas as well.

I had the same paradigm in reverse about any place in the United States.

The bulk of what is served in Texas is what we call Tex-Mex. Yes, it is different. It is not Mexican food. However, if you look around you can get various versions from Tex-Mex to true Mexican to Yucatan to Salvadorian influences and beyond.

Concerning salsa…it totally depends on where you go. Some places service it hot, some service it cold, some of it is picante style, some is hot sauce style (similar to a Lousiana hot sauce but Mexican influenced), etc…

Joe_Dulworth · February 28, 2011, 12:48am

I call bull shit. [bullshit.gif] I’ve seen tacos made with flour tortilla’s all over this freaking country.

Concerning here in Texas…once again…it totally depends what you’re seeking out. Some places do all of their tacos in soft flour tortillas, some do all in soft corn tortillas, some in hard corn tortillas, etc… Some places let the customer select their tacos from any or all of the above. Your choice. Damn, there’s a concept.

By the way, I had tacos yesterday for lunch. The place I went to gave me a choice. I chose soft corn tortillas. There wasn’t an f’g lemon slice in sight.

Don’t take teasing so well, eh Joe? Sometimes you Texicans are soooooo sensitive.
