There's actually this one horrible burrito place that has an add at a gas station that shows them getting burrito ingredients loaded onto "Mexican express" (which is like fed ex) in the square in front of the Mexican Capitol. I'll take a pic next time I'm there.

If it tastes good it's authentically delicious. If that happens to be "authentic mexican" or if it happens to be chipotle it's all the same imm(outh's)o.
I agree. Just give me something tasty. But it was pretty funny, when a work lunch was having a "most authentic" Mexican discussion, and I was like, "are there any of those fast food mexican places?" And they're like, "um, you mean taco bell?", and I was all, "No, you know, a place where you can get a giant carne asada burrito from the drive thru", and they're like, "Carne asada? WTF?" and we all went back to eating Buffalo Wild Wings.
:dunno:

side note: People in Michigan are obsessed with eating the "most authentic" Mexican. They have no idea what that means (neither do I, honestly), but it's pretty funny to hear them talk about it. And then every Mexican restaurant, even if it's staffed entirely by white people and sells nothing but gross burritos with a ton of sour cream, claims to be "authentic".

I love hearing people talk about being authentic around Joco.

Just switch your priorities, go to New Mexico State and have all the delicious green chiles and mexican food you want. Not necessarily a great educational choice but a smart one if you like food :dunno:

Jose Peppers right by my house. Used to be Cactus Grill (same thing, diff name). Pollo magnifico = :lick:. $ .99 espinaca every day. :lick:
I think the Salsa Grill in Mission has these type of tacos for their steak tacos, but the other meats are Taco Bell style.

Across from the westport beach club place that is next to Beaumont. I think it is called "cancun"
has excellent street tacos. Wife and I have eaten there probably 30 times. They let you take unlimited containers of 3 kinds of salsa.
Cancun Fiesta Fresh.
Ate lunch there today. The "Street Tacos" were amazing. Also, they make this sandwich thingy called a Torta, but different than other Torta's I've had. It's on a puffy roll...very good as well.
