Tex mex is tex mex , in other words, another regional take on Mexican cuisine, like any other region in mexico. "Mexican " food in new mexico, California, Colorado, etc. is different , just like food from Oaxaca, Yucatan, baja or from the north is. We are Mexican also and it is our food. And this is not meant to be taken in a negative way, you guys are great, just stating my thoughts and adding to the conversation. Just want to make that clear since "tone" is hard to decipher over text.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Totally agree with this sentiment. We've come to accept it's just something different!! You can't compare apples and oranges :)

Ayyyyy hard shell tacos?? noooo... I feel so sorry that was your experience. San Antonio is filled with amazing Mexican food but it is not downtown where all the tourists are 🤫 🤭 My family ancestry is from Mexico. We have an ofrenda and go to Mass to pray for the eternal rest of the deceased, also to visit the cemetery. (Sometimes Mass at the cemetery.) To be completely honest, as a local San Antonian, when I found out about the city's Dia de Muertos celebration, my sensibilities were kind of offended because of how it was marketed as an exotic spectacle for tourists or non-Mexicans. That's why I was interested to watch this video. Thank you for your hard work in making it!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thanks for the heads up! We definitely felt like we ended up in a tourist area with those tacos! That's so interesting to hear your perspective on the festival! We agree that the meaning behind the event is totally different in the USA than it would be in mexico. Glad you enjoyed the video!

What kind of seats? Plastic chairs? If you’re in the 2nd or 3rd row can you see over the people in front of you?

[@TouristtoLocal]

I believe they were metal chairs with a cushion. You could see over the people in front!

[@dericktrenevsky3659]

@@TouristtoLocal thank you

[@joesolese]

We are a very unique city. Downtown is more for the tourists. Guadalajara grill is only good for drinks during Fiesta which is something you may look into and try next year. That is the real feel of San Antonio at its finest.

[@TouristtoLocal]

It's an awesome city! We love it here :D

[@jacontre76]

nice!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ren1018]

Another great video and yeah i do not like Tex Mex either

[@TouristtoLocal]

Glad we aren't alone! Thanks for watching!

It's Dia De LOS Muertos.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Both are technically right! You hear Dia de Muertos in Mexico more commonly though. In the states people tend to say Dia de los Muertos more.
