I'm so glad I have tacos for dinner last night, then the chicken fried stake picture took me out.

Other signs you might be in good Mexican restaurant:
- Presence of an Al Pastor spit
- Lack of hard shell tacos on the menu
- Salsa bar that includes radishes and picked carrots
- Landscaping trucks in the parking lot
We actually do have pretty good Mexican restaurants, just not quite as good as those in California.
I bet Texas and New Mexico have some really good Mexican restaurants.
We do. Plenty of good TexMex as well.
Psst....if the waitresses speak good english and they don't have cabritto or lengua on the menu.....leave and go to a real Mexican restaraunt.![]()
if there is a waitresses, leave and go to a real Mexican restaurant.![]()
Sure, easy for you to say!![]()
Blue Agave in Bothell had a reasonably good lengua and a staff who had difficulty understanding my broken Spanish (forget ordering in English, pointing to menu options was easier most of the time) ... was sad to see it shuttered last time I was motoring my way into 'downtown'

Wow. Holy thread-derail Batman! Now I'm hungry... And all I've got is beer. Crap.
I fail to see a problem here?
I love a meaty burrito too. However, there was this place in the town where I went to college that had these fantastic and huge potato burritos. The potatoes were cut into chunks and fried. You could eat one for several dinners which was great for a student.
I returned there about a month ago and the burritos are much smaller now and the insides were way overcooked. It was pretty nasty. That place sure went downhill over the years.
All this talk of burritos and I'm sitting here with Indian food and beer...*belch*
all is right with the world...
Behold San Diego stye burritos!

No filler like rice or beans. Just carne asada and guacamole!
Now I live in Japan and Mexican food here is pretty much lettuce in a tortilla![]()

I never did go there. Shame I missed out. To think, I'd never even heard of lengua until now. What is it anyway?
I usually go to La Corona in Kirkland since it's right by my house.
The US has some of the best food going. Our pizza is much better than the stuff in Rome, Our "Chinese" food is incredible, and like nothing any real Chinese People would eat. A ten minute ride will bring me to hundreds of restaurants with food from all over the world. Even good old diner food.
