    I’ve been to plenty of Mexican restaurants staffed entirely by lationos that served white people Mexican.

    Even specifying what you’d like doesn’t seem to help lol. You just have to accept it.

      I grew up in New Mexico, we call the New Mexican food here Mexican. I moved to PA and later Maryland, I was very surprised at the difference in food and what was called Mexican. After I while I realized there was a huge difference between New Mexican, everything uses locally grown chile, similar to Anaheim chile. Versus the other stuff which uses a lot of poblano, and other types of chile.

      And then there was the places that served white peoples Mexican food. Maryland crab enchilada was the worst I think.
