What do you mean there is no real Mexican food in Wisconsin???!!???!!

El Chicos on the East Side of Milwaukee on North AVE has awesome Mexican food;)

Sometime during the 80's cilantro suddenly came into vogue in Mexican restaurants.  It is unutterably vile and its presence is undoubtedly a Communist plot.

With all due respect, I don't consider Chi Chi's, El Torito, Garcia's (now defunct) real "Mexican" food. They took Sonora Mexican food and bastardized it.

I lived in San Diego for eight years... Great Mexican food there.

The key difference between the food in the states and the food in Mexico is the ingredients. Fresh meat, fresh produce, etc. make all the difference.

San Diego taco shops rule.  The smaller the better.  My favorite one is about 20' square.

But, I've never easten any cow brain, or any other kind of brain for that matter.

I have.

BWARK!!!

BTW, what's with the lack of Taco Bell in Europe? We have that crappy Star Buck's thing with throthy bull's semen topping and your crappy McDonalds etc etc - but what about some fast mexican food hmmmmm? I'd go there every week if we had one.

We have taco bell...I'm not sure if we should be celebrating that or not...I did however pick a taste for a type of taco bell thing when i was in seattle...something called Mexi-fries??...  basically what we call potatoe gems

[capt. apathy]

anybody tried 'baja fresh' (is it nation wide or just a west-coast thing).

I don't know much about authentic (never been to Mexico yet).  but IMO damn good food.  better than most dine-in type restaraunts for a lot less cash.  reasonably priced too.  huge portions (I've never finished one of their buritos).

the wife and kids would eat there for 2 meals a day, every day, if I'd let them.

Sweden has them, gotta choose carefully wich one to go to, most of them are really nasty...

What are you talking about Dowding?  We've got one on base at RAF Lakenheath.  I avoid it like the plague.

[Dowding]

Yes, but scaling barbed wire fences, out-running guard dogs and dodging bullets is too much even for some mexican food.

Besides, Lakenheath is miles away from me.
