@@tarie77 Well, I could try to help. This is what I use: Ingredients white jasmine rice sugar water cinnanom Steps: 1. Wash the rice until you don't see much starch. 2. Leave half a pound of rice in a pot of water overnight or two hours. 3. Once that's been softening in room temperature water for a while you may use a sieve to get the rice less wet. 4. Put the softened rice in a blender with a cup of water, r enough to form a thin paste. 5. Get a pitcher and put the rice flour paste in there using a silicone spatula. 6. Add a little room temperature water to the pitcher but not all of it and mix until it thins out into more of a liquid than a paste. 7. Add the sugar and cinnamon to taste. If you add less water than necessary you're less likely to add too much sugar to compensate. 8. Then add ice or leave in the fridge too get cold. I'mm sorry if this isn't specific enough.

Went to Mexico last year, and the impression of their tacos hasn’t left my palette. They’re some taco stands that come close , but most are imitations only.

[@JohnOhkumaThiel]

They are spot on. With very few exceptions like Chipotle, it’s not about the difference in recipe. American fast food is highly processed, made for low price and high volume, because the point isn’t to make great food, it’s to make cheap food quickly. Even the difference between American fast food and a chain or franchise that makes the same things out of fresh, whole ingredients, it’s obvious-like McDonald’s versus In ‘n’ Out or Kua Aina-very close in price, but the fast food can’t pass for homemade or diner quality food. Chipolte is a good example of where they make quality fresh food, but it’s not like the real thing because the customer has to tell them what to put in it. You get better food from a food truck.

[@frankomendizabal2348]

Let’s be real here, a lot of Mexicans that own food trucks and restaurants also serve really crappy food, that’s also cooked in large amounts and served with the crappiest beans as filler to lower costs. And it’s usually always the same things, like tacos, burritos, nachos, and other variations with tortillas, 😷 😴. You rarely see real Mexican food like Chiles en Nogada or Mixiotes.

They’re so right, though. I live in the South and have never really had much experience with the Mexican culture. We have a considerably sized Mexican community here but they sort of keep to themselves for the most part. I grew up obviously eating Mexican style fast food and we even have a few restaurants and a couple local taco trucks started by Mexican families. The family owned businesses seemed authentic to me *UNTIL* one of the cleaning ladies at my job started bringing in meals every Thursday. Long story short, she overheard a supervisor saying he was starving but wouldn’t have time to grab lunch and she speaks decent English, so she asked if he needed a plate. One of the entry level guys (manufacturing plant) had a birthday and was Mexican, so some of the other Mexican workers did a potluck type lunch where they all cooked and brought dishes in to serve him (and an insanely good cake with fruit all over it...god 😫). Any way, she brought the supervisor a plate of food and he basically begged her to make it a regular thing and to convince her, he gave her permission to charge per plate. She and a couple of the older Mexican ladies decided to give it a shot and went around basically taking orders. They’d make a couple different things each week, so it wasn’t like you got a menu to choose from. You either bought what they had that Thursday or missed out. But in management and the engineering department, we never skipped a week. And we were NEVER disappointed. I was being served food out of the back of some lady’s Tahoe but it tasted like it came fresh out of a fantastic kitchen. The flavors, colors and textures were INSANE. Nothing like the Mexican I’d had before. Nothing even close to it. They served us cow tongue taco things once and I didn’t even care that it was cow tongue. They made it so well that I forgot, honestly. God...it’s so impressive.

@@MinkytheMinkY In my experience, no. And I think it’s because they’re catering to an American palette. Like even dishes that they make here that are authentic Mexican dishes, they change the recipes to fit an American tastebud but that often makes it less authentic to the original. But it may also be partly due to the inability/impracticality of sourcing certain ingredients, so they substitute those ingredients for something easily accessed here but that sacrifices some vital characteristic of the original dish.

That's the problem with texmex. They think that the more cumin they use, the more authentic it is. Calimex is way better just because off that.

[@2145yes]

@@mawlinzebra I agree!! And that damn yellow cheese they use haha. Mexico does not use yellow cheese they use queso fresco, cotija, or stinky cheese. Probably some other cheeses too but not yellow.

[@yazminnogueda1032]

We do use cumin in Mexican cuisine, but the seeds not the powder, also, we don't overseason. We do make what they call "Spanish" rice but we call it sopa de arroz rojo (we have sopa de arroz en verde, blanco, con mantequilla, etc.. ) here in México.

Churros originated from Spain, but traditional Spanish churros are covered with a type of glaze, like a donut. Churros with cinnamon and sugar were invented in Mexico.

[@fernandobermejo6840]

En España no son glaseados, pero es cierto que no les echamos canela. Los churros en España son sin nada o, como mucho, con azúcar por encima, y los solemos mojar en chocolate caliente

[@2Xboti]

@@fernandobermejo6840 Aqui en Mexico siempre tienen Azucar y canela, rara vez ves alguno sin eso encima, pero tambien los bañan con chocolate, cajeta, glaseados, mermelada,etc. Sinceramente son muy parecidos, solo los toppings, a lo mejor aqui en Mexico somos mas exagerados haha

On Spain Churros are not glazed, we put standar granulated sugar, and we can dip them in hot chocolate, we don't put cinnamon and we don't put butter in the dough mix.

For the guacamole... everyone likes it different. I like to put allot lemon/lime in it, because I enjoy a distinct sourness. I feel like it pairs well with chips or other food. Then again I don't put in tomatoes most of the time, we prefer to make a Pico de Gallo on the side here. I hate preservative. Most food with preservative taste a little bit like paper... if not for the spices used.

"How were you able to tell the real Mexican food from the fast food?" The same way I can tell that a burger / fries / fried chicken / etc is real versus fast food lol. If ya want a good burger, you don't do Wendy's or McDonalds or whatever. You make it at home or find a good mom and pop shop in town. Fast food exists for one reason only - eating something that tastes similar to food but for much reduced prices and low waiting time. If you could get real food for that fast and cheap, all the fast food would go out of business in a heartbeat.

[@CharLo88]

That's not even the case no more. No reason why a damn big Mac meal is almost the same price as if I went to an actual restaurant and got burgers and fries. Thees fast food places are outta pocket now a days. I just cook at home mostly. Not even worth the time or money anymore.

It's also pretty easy to tell which one is fast food when they kept putting it ON THE SAME SIDE every single time!!

Chipotle guac is good. Jalapeños, onion, cilantro, little salt lemon and lime, fresh Hass avocados. Made fresh everyday. Granted I haven't been there in years, but that's a standard good guac recipe.

that's because their recipe is authentic Mexican, in fact, the original Chipotle food was made by Mexicans and directed by Mexicans, but apparently a white guy took ownership of the establishment.

When Alice made it she adjusted the seasoning to balance out for the flavor things like the tomatoes.

The biggest difference between the two types of food is the flavor profile and spices. Authentic Mexican food is about a balance of flavor but then you can customize the overall taste profile by adding sauces, salsas, and lime/lemon.

Best thing of my summer was when I finally ate at the taco truck down the road from me and I could not get enough. I am in MN, but not in a super urban area, and here is this lone food truck serving the most delicious authentic street tacos. You leave that place full but want more in an hour, it is so good! Sadly I believe it is closed for the winter. Now I need to find some churros. They are my favorite and I can't even find the bad ones around here.

Que es MN y porque porquería comes en un camión, todos saben que los mejores tacos son los de los puestos en la calle o bueno no se si en Estados Unidos haya, aquí en la CDMX hay una zona llamada Tacubaya donde la gente está dispuesta a hacer un viaje de una hora solo por comer tacos

[@InHimAlone]

@@dieproplay2759 MN is an abbreviation for Minnesota - the state in the north-central U.S. Food trucks show up in the summer in more urban areas. They are usually small-business, family owned, with authentic food. They serve food out of a side window and you eat outside. The one near me is amazing - the al pastor is so good! They are much like a street stall, just mobile. This particular one is in the same location all summer though, and fortunately for me it is only about a mile away. Unfortunately, if I wanted to walk to a real street stall for some tacos I would be gone for months ;) We take what we can get up here!
