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!!
Suggests Jeffrey:
