Mario moved here from Texas nineteen years ago, and yesterday we shared his complaint that he can’t find any good Mexican food in Denver — and by “Mexican food,” he means Tex Mex. That doesn’t play well with Coloradans, who all have their favorite kinds of Mexican food — but rarely the version served in the Lone Star State. Says Toni:
Please move back to Texas so you have have that Tex-Mex garbage you’ve mistaken for Mexican food. If you want Mexican food, you should probably to go to Mexico.
Adds Skb:
Casa Bonita has excellent Tex-Mex! Enjoy!!
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $22,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
Suggests Jeffrey:
If you want Tex-Mex, I believe Chili’s has fajitas.
And then there’s this from Dave:
Only an ignorant Texan would think Tex-Mex is Mexican.
Tex-Mex may not be authentic Mexican food, but it’s an authentic genre, and you can definitely find examples around Denver. Any more suggestions?
