From Gonzales, Texas (Come and Take It) Tex-Mex varies greatly across the state. Anytime I go into a new mexican restaurant, the first time I will always order the combination plate or special plate. They all have one. It comes with enchiladas, tamale, taco, chalupa, rice, and beans. The first bite is the rice and beans and my mind is made up. The best are the small mom and pop restaurants in any small Texas town.

Gonzales. My friend lives 25 min west on some two lane hwy. He and his chick took me there. Right before you get in town on the soth side of the road theres a tex mex restaurant. Looks like a dive. I got the biggest platter and a mango margarita. That place has some of the best texmex ive had since eating at monteray house in LJ as a little boy!

You've developed a WOW system of rating the food: 1 Wow - that's good! 2 Wows - that's delicious! 3 Wows - where has this food been all of my life! 4 Wows - Nicola cannot comment on the video right now. She's experiencing food nirvana! She'll get back to you as soon as possible. The way I see it, you have two options (just being cheeky). Move to Texas or go back to California and buy a restaurant to serve real Tex-Mex. Thanks for a fun and really gratifying video for us Texans. I'm a little bummed that you didn't get a chance to try tomatillo salsa but there's next time.

Fajitas in the middle, mexican rice mixed with cheese dip formed around it, then pan seared and wrapped with spinach leaves. Damnitt... now I'm hungry.

Tex-Mex food originated in San Antonio by the immigrants from the Canary Islands. Since the Canary Islands were settled by the Moors, the Tex-Mex food is influenced by Moorish traditional spices. The food in Mexico is more influenced by the starches available to the PreColumbian cultures. Still there is crossover with lard, corn, beans, and some spices native to Mexico and the Americas.

Go to just about ANY Major US City and you can find “Authentic” Chinese Italian Russian Vietnamese French Korean Mexican Indian Filipino Japanese The list goes on and on. “British” food gets a bad rap due to their food just not having a great deal of “Spice”/Big Bold Flavors Like other countries food. Even British people acknowledge this fact. And I mean TONS AND TONS of “British People” have said that “British Food” lacks the Spiciness/big bold flavors that other countries food has. Nobody is saying that “British food sucks” it just doesn’t have the variety that other countries do.

Nachos were invented for visiting American military wives in 1943 in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. Chile con Carne as we know it today came from San Antonio. Tamales are completely different in Texas and N. Mexico (typically wrapped in a corn husk) than the ones further south (typically wrapped in a banana leaf.) Barbacoa in Texas and the border are typically made of fatty beef head meat, and further south, barbacoa is much more likely to be goat meat. There are probably hundreds of variations of guacamole from the US through S. America. As with a lot of cooking in the region, (especially the border region) nobody can say which is “authentic” or not…most culinary experts consider “Tex-Mex” just as authentic as “real” Mexican food, just different.

You are right on about the queso being similar to a bechamel. That's how you make a good cheese dip that remains a melty texture. Add to this lots of cheese and peppers... another way it's often made is velveeta and rotel (canned tomatoes and peppers)... the latter works great in a crockpot for a party. The thick tortillas mean they're handmade. I love them like that. Classically, Tex-Mex is a bit more Americanized than those tacos. Think Taco Bell. Ground beef tacos in a crispy shell, burritos, enchiladas with a red sauce OR chili on top. Sides of mexican rice and refried beans.

Hispanic food in the United States is every bit as good as Mexico. This is not 1942. Everything made in Mexico can be duplicated here.

@@TexasRose50 They need a Texan. Just being an American does not cut it. You’ve got to know Texas. They usually rely on comment suggestions in patreon or suggestions from the restaurant staff. Nowadays Austin is a mini California.

Give Pappasito's steak fajitas (marinade is incredible) a try with table-prepped guacamole for good TexMex. Their margaritas are pretty good (and ample!), too. Amazingly, and pathetically, there are tons of snobs about this kind of thing in Texas that "know the best place", so try several places, as each can be very unique and tasty.

When Valentina's were a food truck a mile and a half from my house they were awesome, and it looks like you had that experience! They moved to south of Austin to Buda, TX to get a brick and mortar place which it looks like you found! I might call it Mex-Tex, rather than Tex-Mex, but that's just picking at things.

Yall are just too cute. Miss Nicola you have a fantastic laugh 🥰 if yall ever come toward Oklahoma you should look up neat places on historic Route 66, try an Oklahoma onion burger, chicken fried steak, and as a native American from the Cherokee reservation you definitely need to try frybread/Indian tacos. It’s not the same as fried bread where you come from but I like it plain with some honey and butter. It’s basically American biscuit dough that’s fried and it’s so bad for you but so good. Comfort food for us. ❤ love you guys and safe travels!!

"Queso" is short for "Salsa con queso" in most places. In other words, salsa with cheese. It usually has at least jalapenos in it and often times hotter peppers. Tex-Mex is one of those regional foods that is popular nationwide, including especially in California. So you should be able to find good examples of it at home too.
