What is your definition of good Mexican food?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

It's all about authenticity. Tex-Mex is not authentic and is pretty unhealthy so I stay away from it. Love to find little hole-in-the wall Mexican places where the food is good and cheap. There's an amazing Mexican seafood restaurant here that is not fancy, but extremely yummy and I think my boyfriend and I are the only white people in the whole city who eat there.

Is it about the quality of ingredients? - usually fresh ingredients. food is not usually prefab, but home made from scratch
Is it about the Texas influence? - we influenced Texas cooking not the other way around
Is it about how cheap you can eat? - actually food is expensive in Mexico and everywhere else these days
Is it about experiencing great flavors that say ole with recognized proteins? I don't understand
Or are the margaritas the most important? Margaritas are for tourists

My definition, finally - made from scratch with fresh ingredients, not made in a hurry, Mexican food is usually very greasy because it's mostly about meat but I like it not too greasy, needs a good flavorful hot sauce that is not overly agressive immediately but rather builds up as you eat.

I live and eat in Mexico

It's all about what you personnel taste is. If you like it then it's good. How do you define "mexican food" Is it from Mexico, cooked my someone form mexico or the use of Mexican Spices. The best sushi I ever had was in San Diego where the cook was from Mexico or mexican if you prefer.

Homemade. There is NO other definition. You go to all the restaurants around and eve though they say "Authentic Mexican Food", it's not, it is still Americanized. Tex-Mex has nothing to do with Mexican food.

Its the atmosphere while your eating. The restaurant i go to has a band that comes and plays customized songs to every customer. ALso, it has to be made by mexicans and they have to use corn tortillas and not flour. ALSo it has to be Caliente!!

the flavor of mexican ingredients :)

The great flavors or else have a few Margaritas before you eat.

The SPICY flavoring. Yuuum

Definitely NOT Taco Bell

my taste buds

That would be an oxymoron.

if you would have said authentic i would have said puking it up afterwords but for your question i really don't know

for me its all about the beans, if the beans arent good then i wont be back
