    My general rule of thumb is that I don’t eat Mexican food in places where there aren’t many Mexican people.

      Yup, made that mistake once while living in Vermont many years ago. As someone who grew up in socal, it was brutal.

      That’s easy for you to say, but some of us like burritos and live in Europe!

      And yes, you CAN get good Mexican food here. Nowhere near as good as in the US near the border, of course, but MUCH better than in the worst US places for it like idunno, North Carolina or Alaska or some such 🤷

        Utah used to be partly in Mexico territory before the recent unpleasantness and it has many good Mexican restaurants.

          Btw, I love that you apparently refer to the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe as “the recent unpleasantness” 😆

          Ok, I guess I’ll change it then… How about North Carolina?

        Waited all summer for the Mexican place in Gardiner to open when I worked in Yellowstone. Gardiner is on the border with the park.

        Anyway, myself and two friends, all of us from Texas, were very vocally disappointment. It was so bad. The pizza place was great though.

        Not true. Small donkeys existed for millions of years before the United States 😛

          Make Burrito Great Again

      Mission style burritos aren’t particularly Mexican, though. But they also shouldn’t be particularly hard to eat.
