Tex-Mex in the Times

[orange-explosion]

Linky.

Generally positive piece on Tex Mex as a "native foreign" US regional cuisine, focusing on El Mirador, Herreras and El Jardin.

I'm sure we can find something to disagree with, though.

No Austin? WTF?

Damn Yankees.

Had my first Dart Bowl enchiladas the other day. Man, that was allsome.

Leaving out Austin is laughable, but I enjoyed the column. People who've never had good Tex-Mex don't understand why it's the best cuisine on the planet, and I feel sorry for them.

Made the mistake of reading that before lunch. I've been craving a good cheese enchilada plate all day.

I just scratched my LCD with a fork trying to get at those enchiladas.

Nah, it was at the corner of Anderson and Burnet originally, until it moved in the early 90s.

Food is still good though.

I worked there as a pinsetter, until the damn machines come along and we lost everything.

It was on Grover, just south of Koenig Lane.
