Los Cabos

[restored2x]

Honey -

I agree with your husband - Las Americas is good - I eat there about once a week - but it is more tex than mex. A LOT more mex than the franchise places (tongue tacos, heladeria on premises, etc.)- but still miles from authentic.

I don't exactly consider tongue tacos to be "tex-mex."

Sure, and an enchilada is an enchilada everywhere you go.  Doesn't matter where, it's all the same right?

Seriously though, it's mostly ingredients.  And I'm not saying Las Americas is terrible.  Some people really like that stuff.  I'd eat there.

You can get goat meat at The Cancun, that's pretty authentic.  

I don't think their food is as good as I remembered it being when they opened.  Might just be a little too authentic for my tastes.

"Authentic" mexican food ruined a perfectly good vacation to Puerto Vallarta 2 years ago...or was it Cancun...who knows, all I remember was counting tiles on the bathroom floor for 6 days...Viva intestinal parasites!!!

Heh.  Reminds me of the last time I was in Cancun.  We were warned not to purchase any food at a little convenience store across the street from our hotel.  Several of us got a hankering for a greasy hamburger and ignored common sense.

The same several of us wound up with Montezuma's revenge.

At the airport I mentioned something about looking forward to being home later that night.  One of my buddies looked at me and said: "I'm just looking forward to being able to fart with confidence again..." [}:)]

Nope at Los Cabos, they're uncooked.

Sounds like another reason to never bother with Los Cabos.  Not that I was ever going to.

Just from the looks of it, it reminds me of any ordinary Ted's.  Been there once in OKC, ain't goin back.

I have never seen huraches anywhere in Tulsa.  Not even the taco truck that parks on north Sheridan.

I miss those Roach Coach burritos.

A greasy hamburger?  Why would anyone hanker for that?

We have visited Mexico eight times over the last 11 years.

Drove all the way from Tulsa to Cancun one time.  Stopped off along the way at many cities and states, and not once did we get sick from the food.  This last visit we ate at small restaurants (family owned) and little hole in the wall establishments.  Not one of us was sick.  Yet my kids almost died from food poisoning a few years ago at McDonalds on Yale (close to Promenade).  Ain't that something?[]

There is a pretty authentic Mexican place on 11th just West of Harvard in a small strip mall on the North side of the street. I can not think of the name, but it is as authentic as I have had here in town.
