Where I live, The Mexican food is outstanding. It oughta be, 75% of the population is Mexican.
Fuggin' A bruddah.
Some of the GREAT Tex-Mex joints in the Lone Star State:
Mi Tierra - San Antonio
Chuy's - Houston and Austin
El Nopalito - Galveston
Chuy's - Fort Stockton
Pappasito's - Houston
Durango's - Webster
Johnny Tamales - Webster
Places to avoid in the Lone Star State:
Pancho's Mexican Buffet - Anywhere (no self-respecting Texan would EVER be caught in there, its mostly the Yankee horde that has moved here in the last 20 years that keeps them open, dammit)
Casa Ole - Anywhere (better than Pancho's, but not by much)
Taco Cabana - Anywhere (better than nothing, but best when you are nursing a buzz)
Monterey House - Anywhere (another bland chain of restaurants)
