Those minor offenses are actually just New Mexican fare. Ground beef in the green chile and sour cream are pretty par for course here.

New Mexico is on a whole different level when it comes to fucking up Mexican dishes. I ordered tamales at a New Mexican restaurant once and they put sauce on it. Freaking sauce on a tamale. To make matters worse, it tasted like the burnt bits from a red enchilada sauce that was left on the stove for way too long.

Needless to say, I learned my lesson. Forget meth, the new slogan should be, “New Mexican food: not even once.”

The safe thing to do is order traditional New Mexican food in New Mexico, like posolé, carne adovada, green chile stew, calabacitas, etc. Otherwise, it’s like going to Southern Spain and wanting amazing pintxos.

But it does sound like you went to a truly atrocious restaurant by the sound of that abomination; my condolences.

Green chile is a New Mexico thing, not a Mexican thing. Even Tex Mex hardly has any thing that would be considered green chile in it. Honestly New Mexico has completely destroyed Mexican food by slathering green chile on absolutely every god damn meal. It’s disgusting. Go to Mexico and you won’t find green chile anywhere.

Green chile with meat might be, but green chile sauce on its own is definitely Mexican, I thought. Are enchiladas with green sauce not Mexican? Regardless, I deleted my comment cause I don’t want to spread misinformation in case I’m wrong.

I think you’re probably right. I have seen green sauce on enchiladas in a few places, like Texas and Colorado and I don’t remember it being often (usually red sauce), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in Mexico. I could definitely be wrong though.

Aren’t you a fellow Texan? I’ve seen all kinds of crazy shit here, even in places like South Padre. There’s just something about that burrito that seems like a burrito made for someone who has never seen a burrito. And possibly by someone who only heard one described.

I don’t know why I had it in my head that you were one of the other Texans around, sorry about that.

I know this is a one word reply but it brought forth the Wolfenstein scene with Hitler, “No mein Feur im from Arizona”.

You don’t understand! It’s so hard to find good Mexican food, at all, on most of the east coast! Just moved away from Maryland.
