the Cafeteria is trying to do "mexican" @ work ....

[JB73]

first off this is a hospital i am working @ today and im sure there are many people here that cant eat this crap.

second in wisconsin there is no real mexican.. we have to settle for what people rip off of taco bell.

that being said... even though i LOVE mexican food am i the only person who LOATHS fresh cilantro?

i find it terrible. it permiates everything it touches and contaminates it with its flavor.

this "pork" and fresh "salsa" hoagie i am eating for lunch has GOT to be ons of the lamest ideas a cafeteria head has come up with.




i hate my job.

To bad you don't work in Florence, AZ.  Some of the best Sonoran-style Mexican food around.  Oh cool, it's almost time for lunch.  I wonder, should I have the chorizo, the cheese enchilada or the chile rellano?

A) What *is* your job? Are you a float pool nurse?

B) I Love Cilantro!
C) Mexican food served in America is not "Mexican" unless the owner of the small restaurant speaks very broken english (as my experience tells me)

[Sandman]

Is it considered Mexican food if it doesn't have cilantro?

[JB73]

Rip .. i work for Xerox and do xerox related stuff @ about 35 locations around the Milwaukee area.



as far as mexican goes .... i dont mind a tiny bit of cilantro... but this is just tooooo much here.

maybe you could get away long enough to go get some airline food.   not a huge leap from hospital food but a step up anyway.

There is a great little authenic Mexican place down the block from my work in Scottsdale.

You know it's the real deal when it's kind of a small place, feels   like your in Mexico and they sell cow brain's and tounges

The food is very good but I've never tried the cow brains or tounges.

It's not AUTHENTIC Mexican food unless the restaurant is in the converted living room of the cooks family home.

I love Mexican food.  Living in San Diego I have opportunity for lots of tasty Mexican food.  But I hate cilantro and that isn't what defines Mexican food at all.  Maybe Texmex, but what do they know?

A) I've been to a small mexican place and it was the worst food I've ever had.  AND IT WAS IN TIAJUANA!

B) Cow tongue tastes like very good roast beef.  But, I've never easten any cow brain, or any other kind of brain for that matter.

most mexicans like there food very bland,,what we got here in usa is a hopped up hot version of there food,,,down in mexico only thing they use hot stuff for is to tortue people,,hehe,,they dont use taco seasoning or anything,,down in mexico its all tastless pork with a little cheese,,i got freinds who have been down there,,and thats atleast what they tell me about there food,,he said are mexican food is way better up here,,lots hotter and full of tons more flavor

hot stuff is big in usa because its addicting to us,,we eat and eat it no matter how hot its burning are mouths somtimes,,hehe i love mexican food,,but you wont find authentic mexican food many places in usa,,mite as well call it mexican american food now,,lol

I lived in central Mexico for 4 yrs.  When I first got there I was like- "give me the Nachos please" and they we're like "Que?"  Then I learned what real Mexican was like and I'll never look back.  Favorites include:

Chicken Mole- Chicken w/ Choclate sauce.
Sabina-  grilled Skirt steak w/ chesse on top.
Chorizo Tacos- Not the crappy Chorizo you get in the US.
tortas de pollo- like a chicken omlette w/ peppers and sauce

all of the wonderful sauces for diping made fresh!

Mexican food is amazing!!
