What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?

C) Los Angeles. Taco trucks - 'nuff said.

I'm going to jump on the San Antonio is not real Mexican bandwagon, too. Some of the worst "Mexican" food I've ever had was there. Guess that's why they call it Tex-Mex.

I also cook extra rice and freeze it in half-cup servings. 2 min. in the microwave and I'm done! Tastes just like fresh made, too. I've served it to guests and no one could tell that it was frozen.

I agree with fivrforfun. I live in Bend and the Mexican food at Pepe's rocks. My friend Marcos has a restaurant called La Rosa that is also a locals favorite.
Some really awesome burritos de carne asada can be found at El Grullense in Salem OR. In fact when I'm there I get a cooler and ice and load up before driving home... yes, that good!

Houston? What you have there is Tex-Mex. Chicago? I think not. I have lived in both cities. San Diego, CA which is 15 miles north of the Mexican border by far, has the best Mexican in the US. Old Town is dedicated to offering you one Mexican restaurant after another in addition to all the other Mexican restaurants and taco stands located around the city. Real Mexican food is found there.

rozilla - there are some good Mexican restaurants in Nashville. Pueblo Viejo and Pueblo Real in Franklin, Las Cazuelas (can't beat the entertainment on Saturday night) or Los Arcos on Nolensville Rd. are all real good.
