For me : just because a dish originated somewhere does not mean it will always taste better there. For example, Pescado Zarandeado was created in Nayarit but Sinaloa’s version has a better flavor imo
For me, tacos dorados and flautas are the same thing with a different name 🥴
Quesabirria tacos is a pleonasm
Proper Mexican burritos and Norteno food in general deserve way more attention in the US
Tacos are not a “dish” it is a way to eat food, but not the dish itself
Spicier doesn’t mean better
Red Pozole is the greatest mexican dish. Fight me!
**I.** Red salsa is better than green salsa but it’s rare to find a taquería that does it well so green salsa becomes the MVP in most places (red salsa has more interesting flavors but green salsa is a reliable option that goes well with most things, even a mediocre green salsa tastes good whereas a mediocre red one doesn’t, it just burns your tongue).
**II.** (This opinion probably won’t get me in trouble)
People who flood their food with salsa to prove they’re very macho or Mexican are dumb, they just nullify the crazy nice range of flavors that makes the Mexican cuisine as great as it is.
The comment came from my Danish friends who visited Mexico for the first time: “it’s literally all the same ingredients in different presentations” (referring to tacos, quesadillas, gorditas, sopes, huaraches, enchiladas, tamales, etc). They said this to me and a couple of my friends, and even though I had to agree, everyone had them feeling like this meme. Lol
Quesadillas always require cheese to be a “quesadilla”

Obviously I’d chose real authentic Mexican food over Tex mex anyday.
BUT something primal awakes in me when having white people nachos or steak fajitas (probably because I’m addicted to sour cream). It’s good. It’s not authentic, but it’s really good.
Birria is simple. Birria, tortilla, salsa, cebolla, cilantro. Enough of that tik tok shit.
Mexican Food Trucks have better food than most sit down Mexican Restaurants.
I don’t eat chorizo. People get offended when I don’t accept food that has chorizo in it. Or if it’s served on the side I won’t eat it. It gives me heartburn…
Mexican food isn’t really that spicy. Yeah if you put some spicy salsa on your food, it can be, but honestly I feel like Asian cultures have spicier food in a general sense compared to Mexican food. Also this isn’t a complaint, Mexican food is my favorite cuisine, I just think this stereotype that Mexicans love spicy stuff is not really true.
Burritos should not be cut before being served
Most Mexican food in Houston Texas sucks most it is white washed or just bad quality Mexican food.
Jalapeños are the worst peppers. I always reach for Serrano or Fresno or some alternative that doesn’t just taste like a hot green bell pepper.
*ducks for cover*
EDIT: I should clarify, I am referring to raw and simply roasted jalapeño here. Dried chipotles, chipotle powder, or chipotles in adobo—those are delightfully transformed and taste nothing like the original state. I’ll allow it.
Me gusta puro checken
Flour tortillas are good too
Chilaquiles verdes are the definitive chilaquiles.
Menudo is disgusting.
El arroz no lleva comino
No me gusta el aguacate.
No me gusta el mole
