Wait it’s more expensive than Dallas? It was way easier to find something affordable here. I spent a year looking for a place in Dallas. 🥲

nobody uses cumin!!!

“tacos made by white people for white people”

Thank you, Dallas has slowly added more and more of these types of places and people who moved there from other places didn’t understand what I meant when I said “white people tacos”

as a white person, white people should not own taco shops.

I can taste this comment.

haven’t been able to eat bbq since I had Covid in 2020, but seeing the bbq here makes me depressed

I mean, it’s safer than Dallas right?

Good! Probably the closest thing to TexMex I’ll find.

I had COVID in 2020 and it screwed up my smell and taste, still struggle with it. Haven’t been able to eat chicken since, so I always go with cheese enchiladas now. I was so shocked that they have them on the menu there, literally nowhere here does.

Only complaints: they need to learn what cumin is, and work on the enchilada sauce. It tasted like it came straight out of the can.

I feel like I’m kinda having some culture shock here lol. I grew up Catholic—white Catholics in the rural south are not common. I went to catholic school for 10 years and most of my teachers had recently immigrated from Mexico or Honduras, and we were taught Spanish starting in pre-k to aid with the language barrier.

When I went to public school in HS, the white southern baptist parents didn’t want their kids hanging out with a catholic because they didn’t understand the difference between saints and gods. 😂 Every time someone found out I transferred from catholic school, they’d say “but you’re not Mexican???” So 90% of my friends were Mexican, most being anchor babies (not sure if this is the socially acceptable term, correct me if not) or dreamers.

Mexican culture has had a huge presence in my life for as long as I can remember, so food aside, this is a difficult adjustment. 🥲 Again, I’m white and I don’t like, identify myself with the culture, so naturally I just didn’t think it would be an issue when I moved.

Sorry for the rant - homesick and my vyvanse just kicked in. 😂 One more question tho: are there any fruterias around here?

Update: I caved. Just ordered.

Where’s the fckn menudo

Same, I make pretty good breakfast tacos but they are NOT the same as waking up and stopping at the small hole in the wall shop down the road… the salsa 😭

also, is it just Dunkin here? Like are there no mom & pops donut places?? i miss those donuts

I’d sell my kidney for Laredo Tacos rn

Oh I’m all for the shitty looking hole in the wall shops. The best Mexican food I’ve had was in this old shopping strip. Out dated building. No AC - they literally had a barn fan in the restaurant. Was still sweating my ass off, but damn. Best food I have ever had.

Fancy Mexican places are usually terrible, I think most Texans prefer the hole in the walls. Thank you!!!

Ah, you commented on my last post!

Thanks! Not a fan of Indian food. I worked in Plano, which has a very large Indian population and plenty of Indian places! I tried multiple times but I just can’t. 😭 Afghani food tho… that’s where it’s at!

As a Texan, it’s against my morals to go to anything with “California” in it

Not looking for tacos, but if your wife ever wants to have a law student over for dinner…. 👀
