It’s like the one Mexican dish we know in Europe. You can order nachos or tacos at some places but they’re so far removed from the real deal it’s a crime to call it Mexican.
Yup. I live in the US and most “Mexican” food here is terrible. I’ve gotten to the point where I refuse to eat Mexican unless it’s in an establishment with soccer playing 24/7, mysterious jugs of liquid on the counter, and counter staff who struggle with English. Bonus points for dingy lighting. If I can’t order lengua or they don’t ask for clarification when i order cabesa, I’m out.
And even then it’s a toss up. Some great Mexican places give in and start adding American nonsense to their dishes. I want a variety of moles, fantastic beans, and salsas so hot the devil himself would get hiccups and I’m sold.
