Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

          Oh, see, that’s your problem. You’re supposed to put beans, rice, meat, cheese, lettuce, guac and whatever else you prefer inside those the taco shells or tortillas, not tasteless mush. I’m glad we got to the root of the issue.

              You’re the mayonnaise type. Tip: Don’t put only mayonnaise into the taco. Go crazy and try exotic stuff like salt, chili peppers, and maybe even something acidic.

      I suspect the stuff they sell in restaurants isn’t what mothers in Mexico cook at home.

      I just want to rant about Texan chilli - no beans ? So, it’s mince in fact ?

      There are levels.

      Like all food, cheap mass produced version is generally bad. Home made with the correct ingredients can be wonderful.

      Chilaquiles slap.

      Tacos al pastor, yum. Never thought I could like pineapple in savory food.

      Sopa Tarasca is heavenly.

      Simple bean burrito with refried pintos, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion & chipotle salsa is something I would eat for breakfast, lunch or supper.

      Respectfully disagree, I do rate it highly and think it belongs there. Even the simple stuff (if by mush you mean refried beans) is seasoned well and delicious. Tasty mush.

              The worst Mexican food I’ve had was in San Antonio Texas, believe it or not.

              Where I live, if you find a hole-in-the-wall Mexican place it will be fantastic, I thought that rule held everywhere. Oh no. No, no, no.

              Remarkably bad food, so bad. Mole made with sweetened milk chocolate. American cheese in the enchiladas. Comically bad. Absolute shit food. And outside of that one horrible experience, overall very hit or miss. How? They literally WERE Mexico! I was expecting something so good. The only great food we got there was at a hipster breakfast place.

              But why would you eat Mexican food in Spain, unless you live there. Your brain went “damn, all those people speaking Spanish are making crave tacos”?
