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.  Whitey mad his salmon and kale tacos suck.

Literally the only thing I would miss about Texas is the food. And I guess my parents, but I can't call good authentic Texmex once a month!

I had a Pollo Rico and Pollo Regio down the street from where I used to live. Pollo Regio was the one in the side of the gas station ... but that chicken wasn't so regio.

Blue Mesa Grill street tacos were pretty good last time I had them. It was a few years ago, and it was pretty much just steak and pico. Nice and fresh, and seemed more authentic than the sour cream and cheese covered monstrosities known as "Tex-Mex".

Saw a bunch of posts and thought it was crosstalk about Ken Starr blowing it in an interview, as posted by zoux in the USPOL thread. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3778459&perpage=40&pagenumber=26#post460627278 Turns out it was just taco talk. El Come Taco on Fitzhugh is a pretty good taqueria.

I'm not entirely sure that attorney privilege extends the way they're claiming it does, unless graft is now considered a business strategy that we need to keep hidden from competitors..

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. So that's how you summon Don Barbecue.

All this taco chat and no one thought to bring up tamales. And then I came across this article: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/06/06/zarif-khans-tamales-and-the-muslims-of-sheridan-wyoming quote:By then, Louie [Tamale] was a local legend, and his murder shocked everyone. [...]

Well I don't know what to tell you, you're in the epicenter of one of the biggest and most profitable business oriented cities in the United States. Generating money and big business is what we're all about, all I can say is that I'm sorry if Houston isn't a good fit for you.  Rexicon1 posted:e: or being confused why there aren't any goddamn recycling bins anywhere. Houston is massive and the population is extremely spread out, there isn't enough concentrated foot traffic to warranty their use or expense. Scrap yards and recycling centers focus most of their efforts at targeting people's home for their recyclables. Recycling as a whole is pretty health and competitive in Houston at the moment.

Probably fourth or fifth gen Texan, which means I got a lotta Native American blood from both sides of the river in me along with Spanish in there somewhere. I CANNOT stand those assholes from Monterrey and other affluent parts of Mexico that come here (RGV) and look down on the Frontera because of our mixed heritage. Motherfuckers were always bitching and moaning in high school about how much poo poo they had back in Mexico, but had to leave because.............reasons. Just acting like spoiled shits all around.

Sorry about the flashback. The older generation's starting to die off at least - my grandmother's family are all from Monterrey and so far the only ones that have lasted to old age and not hit senility are the chill non-rear end in a top hat ones. Maybe being racist does literally make you go crazy.

My mom's extremely brown, has a Mexican maiden name, and her dad's actually from Brownsville, but i'm still white as hell. European genes are really strong I guess. (That or her dad being half irish tilted the genetic pool more further in that direction)

Torchy's is hot garbage, and would be overpriced even if it were good. Rusty Taco in Dallas is even worse. To stay on topic, gently caress Greg Abbott. Not for anything in particular, just gently caress him
