harperdc posted:.Sash went to Penn State, that feels like it’s pretty far away from “Mexican food gourmet” Putting aside the fast food places, I can only think of one Mexican place in State College when I was there and it definitely wasn't actual Mexican food either. There were a decent number of "Honduran Tex Mex" restaurants around Pittsburgh. I know it wasn't good, per se, but even after adjusting for variants and quality, a better quality version of it still wouldn't really do it for me. If I want spicy food, I make a beeline to Indian. Maybe Thai, but not very often.

Not Mexican food specific but more along the lines”it’s delicious and you can put it on everything “ is home made spicy chili crisp.

"It's a tortilla with meat, cheese, and vegetables." "What are nachos?" "It's a tortilla with meat, cheese, and vegetables." "What's a tostada?" "It's a tortilla with- look, it's all the same, just say a word and I'll bring you something, ok?"

We have a place here (it's a "chain", but the kind of chain that's like... Four locations total) that's pretty good, but that might be mind control because they've done enough uncanny poo poo like give me new silverware as I'm reaching to pick up the fork I just dropped or giving me extra queso without me asking thar I'm convinced they're all psychic.

When I was working in a factory in rural Ohio they would buy us lunches for hitting production goals. If they bought Mexican or Chinese at least half the food had to be the Mexican or Chinese delicacy hamburgers.

LeeMajors posted:You actually selling this locally? Farmers markets or anything? Nah, just had enough for friends and family. I'm actually down to two bottles left  This was my first year, and I learned a bunch. I've had a medium sized garden for years, just never grew a lot of peppers until last season. I actually started last year because I've been making homemade salsa and canning it. It's one of the features at my Tiger Tailgates. I got tired of buying hot peppers at my local farmers market so I decided to grow my own. Boy did they grow! I'm talking 100+ times what I needed for the salsa, six plants total over 3 varieties. Will make some small changes next year, but this was super fun. The sauce is very habanero forward since that is what the majority of the peppers are. It's hot, like hotter than just about any grocery store sauce, but not crazy burn your face off hot like a lot of the specialty sauces. If you can grow poo poo, make a 3.5% brine, and have a high speed blender you can do this.

That rules. When we bought our first house on JI the previous owner had a pepper garden that pumped out more serranos than we know what to do with. I couldn’t quite keep it going but I gave a poo poo ton of peppers away. Wish I’d had the time or knowledge to put something together like that but I was too absorbed in homebrew, work and trying to start a fam. Seems like a fun little hobby.

Tennessee had a massive influx of hispanic folks over the past 10-15 or so years. South Nashville was a center of awesome food trucks/stands when I lived there. It’s a genuine letdown when we travel somewhere and want Mexican food, I don’t know how people live without it. Most restaurants still offer the Americanized versions of whatever tex-mex people typically expect but it’s still head and shoulders above the poo poo we’d get when I was a kid. And you can find the genuine articles more readily available than you can other places.

There is a very good Mexican spot in Denver that reminds me exactly of the places I would go to in Austin all the time. There can be decent mexican outside of Cali/Texas you'll just have to look harder and try a few duds.

I bring extra hot sauce to the maintenance dudes at my work when I make big batches. It's been gratifying, because apparently word spread to a bunch of the Mexican people in the factory who then sampled it, and they now voice their approval whenever I walk by.

It definitely exists all over, at least something “good enough”. The real answer is that the cuisine across Mexico alone is massively varied, before even getting into the cultural development of offshoots like Tex-Mex from the Tejano population having to eat based on the US supply chain for food over a few centuries, other Latin American cuisines, etc., that I don’t even know what people mean when they say “Mexican” food half the time. Most of it is pretty good.

Fifty Three posted:State College isn't exactly Mexican food mecca but also, other cities... exist?? State College literally had no Mexican restaurants for like over a decade, and before that the only Mexican restaurant when I was a student was a Chi Chis (an old chain restaurant that apparently still has one location open in Vienna, Austria. Thanks wikipedia). There is currently one decent Mexican sitdown restaurant and a local chain of good quick service type places (I had some killer barbacoa at Lupitas). Generally not as good as what you find in the Southwest, but it beats driving to Altoona or settling for Taco Bell. e: Also the best Mexican I ever ate was in Phoenix, for what its worth.
