What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
How do you leave Arizona cities off the list? I also vote for Phoenix, on the list or not. I've eaten Mexican food other places, but Phoenix has the best.

My most memorable would be my mom's pumpkin pie. It was the Libby's recipe, but I still make it and my hubby still loves it. Of course, any pie is memorable in my book!

This one is an absolute no brainer. I am a software programmer and fortunate enough to work for a company that allows me to work from home, I try my best to make a point of living in a different city every year, I pack light and go. I've gone from southern cali, mid-west to the east coast and NOTHING compares to the mexican food in San Diego! Travel just 60 miles up the coast to Los Angeles and the difference is night and day, doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same category. San Diego is on the border of Mexico, and the mexican food gets exponentially worse the farther you get from it. Ask anyone who has actually tried mexican food in mulitple cities, I will guarantee the same response, San Diego hands down. Anyone who calls them nachos instead of carne asada chips, or taquitos instead of rolled tacos can automatically be discredited in this discussion. Those of you who have lived in San Diego will know what I mean.

Good grief, anyone who says that San Antonio has bad Mexican food and is "touristy" clearly didn't stagger far enough from the Riverwalk to learn anything about this city and its cuisine. People who actually *live* here don't go near the tourist areas, unless they have no choice.
And to say that LA *isn't* touristy but still has good Mexican food is just laughable. I didn't find one decent restaurant in all of California when I lived there. The food was horrible, and the service abominable.
When you get away from the downtown area of San Antonio, that's when you find out just how awesome the Mexican food is here. There are dozens of wonderful mom-and pop joints tucked into unexpected places all over San Antonio. You just have to know how to look.
And if you want the best Mexican food, anywhere, Texas's Lower Rio Grande Valley is the place to go. Until you've had seso or eyeball soup or panchos, until you can lay out the perfect botana platter, you don't know jack about authentic MX food.

There is a place a bit north of Santa Fe called Chimayo. This is where the world famous Chimayo chiles come from. The place to eat there is Rancho de Chimayo--THE BEST for Mexican! Amazing atmosphere, service and food. Don't miss it.

Tucson, Arizona. Glad to see so many giving love to The Old Pueblo.
1) Sonoran Hot Dogs (El Guero Canelo/BK's) - bacon wrapped hot dogs with beans, onions, mustard, mayo, tomatoes, your choice of salsas, cheese and grilled peppers/green onions on a soft bolillo roll. $2.29, $1.75 on Wednesdays.
2) 24 hour drive through taquerias. Under $4 for a burrito? At 3am?
3) Really good sit down Mexican restaurants. Mi Nidito. Love the nopales simmered in red chile sauce with freshly made flour tortillas.
4) Even the U of A's Mexican place, Cafe Sonora, has decent mole and chimichangas. If a damn college cafeteria can provide good Mexican food, there should be no argument.
I rest my case.
What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
Los Angeles obviously. It's not just about good mexican, but the diversity of mexican cuisine that LA has very few weaknesses in. Then, I'd give Texas second place and Chicago third with SF a close 4th.

In Nashville the taco trucks are more authentic, and better then most sit down Mexican restaurants. This town is a total fail for Mexican food.

TORTIERE! It is an amazing French-Canadian Meat Pie and my mother makes it every Christmas Eve! It simmers ground beef, veal and lamb together for hours with spices and fills a buttery double pie crust and is baked to perfection! OMG!

The most memorable pie for me would probably have to be when I first got to have a piece of chocolate cream pie at Thanksgiving. I had been allergic to dairy and finally outgrew it. I was thrilled to get to finally get to try it!

Fried Apricot Pie at Pat's Barbeque in Fort Worth. Back when I was in high school a certain group of us from the nearby neighborhood used to hang out there after school and on weekends. Barbecue bologna sandwiches and fried pies were our staples along with the fountain-made cokes and 7-Up's to which you could get vanilla or cherry syrup added. But the apricot fried pie was the most delicious pie I have ever eaten...the crisp pie crust was tender and not greasy and was overloaded with pure mashed redolent apricots...that is all you could taste along with the subtle unctiousness of butter. I have never tasted a pie purer in flavor since.

The most memorable pie I ate was an apple pie in Oak Glen, California at the pick-your-own fruit orchards there that was piled high with delicious fruit.

The Key Lime Pie at the Colonial House at Busch Gardens in Florida. They have the BEST and I've tasted a lot of these everywhere I travel. This one was creamier and yummier. I need their recipe.

My mom's strawberry pie. I love it, and I don't even like strawberries that much. Yum!

Great-Grandma's Chocolate Cream Pie! She always made a little bowl for me with the leftover pudding. I loved "Pudding Skin" then, as much as I do today!

The most memorable pie I've ever eaten was a creamy coconut pie made by my grandmother. She would use eggs from her own chickens and cream from her own cows. Oh, what a walk down memory lane.

My grandmother's Key Lime Pie, from fresh key limes grown in her own yard. She's been gone a long time, but I remember it as if it were yesterday.
