Hmmm this may have more legs than I thought: https://twitter.com/brianmrosenthal/status/738738633469874176 Don't start jacking off over the thought of Abbott going to jail but do stroke your chin thoughtfully and do a weighty "hmmmmm" about it.

enraged_camel posted:I moved here from Cali and know a lot of others who did, and none of them have ever said this. They think Torchy's is tasty for sure but also understand it's very Americanized. The fact that you think Mexican food and Tex-Mex are interchangable really shows how little you know about (actually authentic) mexican food.

I step out of my front door, walk toward the street, and stop about two paces away. I hold my hands up to my mouth and shout "Carne!" into the sky as loudly as I can. Within seconds, a man carrying a dripping fistful of meat emerges. From where, I could not say. I tell him my name, and he places the meat in my cupped hands. The debt is remembered, and I am expected to supply the tortilla. That, friends. That is authentic Mexican food.

Prices on the menu being computer paper taped over the menu sign is an excellent indicator of quality tacos.

we're all Texans so i don't think i'll catch too much poo poo, but when one crosses into mexico the tacos really go downhill thin tortillas, poor quality meat, no veggies and an over-reliance on pork. i love coahuila and could retire there but the food really needs some work. gringas are the worst, tamales and chilaquiles are still good but better elsewhere

Morales has a yelp page now? loving sell outs. Funny to see Eagle Pass pop up on here. Texas Monthly once declared it the most corrupt city in Texas. I'm glad all my family ties moved or died and I don't ever have to make that drive again to that hell hole

I mean if you'd rather I'd post more than once a month in this thread with even less to say per post.  Actually, here's a question: since Texas didn't take the Medicaid expansion, my little brother's insurance is going to run out in October. He'll be 19 and thus ineligible for CHIP then. I know that losing your insurance is an event that qualifies you to enroll on the federal exchanges but is the onus on him (since he's over the age of majority, but I don't know how this interacts with the age 26 rule) or on my parents to get insurance (they've been insurance-free since my dad lost his job  ) and who will be penalized and have to pay the fee come tax time? My suspicion is my parents on both counts but I don't know if there's some additional fuckery going on at the state level. He can't get on my insurance since I'm in Massachusetts, I don't think.Wikkheiser posted:Someone I know did this in a Mexican restaurant in East Austin last time I was there. When the Mexican-American waitress asked him (he's white) if he wanted corn or flour tortillas he made a point of saying he only ate corn because flour is what white people eat! The waitress smiled and kinda laughed and said that was funny because she liked flour.

Mecca-Benghazi posted:You totally can and I'm not stopping you, just stop it with the "authenticity" talk. Good food is good food whether it's "authentic" or not This is correct. A lot of the "you have to go to the taqueria that's in the back of the gas station where all the semis are parked, and you only go there on a day where there's an entire construction crew and two different off-duty mariachi bands eating there or its not as good" poo poo is stupid. There are plenty of upscale "white people" taco places that make loving delicious tacos. And there are some authentic taquerias where no one working there speaks a word of english whose food tastes like rear end. Judging a restaurant's quality by some weird metric of what feels more latino is dumb.
