Louisiana might agree with you, but the rest of North America would probably fight you on that. Nachos are a staple of every single sporting stadium here.
Maybe, I’m neither north American or a sports fan. But I’d rather have fried alligator or blackened catfish as far as fast food goes. And you genuinely can’t beat a bowl of seafood ocra gumbo over heavily buttered cornbread. Nom nom nom.
Sadly that seems to describe most of Europe. I would love to try some proper Mexican food. But according to people who had it they haven’t found a place here that makes good stuff.
Sounds a lot like Canada, where most people’s exposure to “Mexican food” is Taco Bell. Welcome to the club.
My distaste for Tacos comes down to the fact I don’t like crunchy foods that shatter, and especially so when they run the risk of being messy. I mean, I can handle a gooey messy burger just fine, but that’s because it doesn’t shatter when I bite into it. Tacos hit both those pain points. Give me Arroz con Pollo any day, I absolutely love it. And yes, the only place I can get this is from Rancho Chico south of the border in Washington state.
Which means it’s a no-go until America overthrows the current authoritarian ChristoFascist administration. Because they won’t allow themselves to be legitimately voted out of power. Soooo… possibly a decade or more until I can eat there again, assuming America doesn’t invade Canada in the meantime.
Kind of depends on where you are in Canada. If you’re in the middle or out east, shit is pretty bleak. Being closer to California (aka, former Mexican territory) helps a lot.
Further you get from Mexico, the harder it is to find the right ingredients and people who know what decent Mexican food tastes like.
Not a fan of tacos at all, but I’ll save them for someone who is.
I’ll probably give them to an immigrant or homeless person just to make it that little sweeter.
Do you live in a place with terrible Mexican food?
I live in a place with basically NO Mexican food.
ETA: I’m pretty much not familiar with Mexican cuisine.
If you can call that living.
The only food you really need is Indian food.
Now this I can agree with.
I think saying this in America’s west / south west is a felony.
Maybe, but if even if you only take food from north America into consideration mexican food is still second place to Cajun/creole food…

Which country? You need some good Mexican food ASAP
I’m not comfortable sharing that info, but I’ve tried some Mexican food in my travels. Wasn’t bad, but I doubt it was authentic.

I went to a Mexican restaurant in Terra Haute once.
They used Ragu as enchilada sauce.
This has killed my spirit a little.
Oh. Your. God.
I’m not sure if it’s just a food crime or elevated all the way to a hate crime against your tongue.
London, UK. Been to a taco place, and a Burrito place or two. Underwhelmed.
Any fellow Londoners care to recommend a decent Mexican place? There must be some here.
Wahaca?
