I'm sure you think so. However, what are you comparing it to?

Pedro Pascal, Chilean American, spent most of his childhood in Texas and then California. It's just not the same outside of the Southwest or Mexico.

I know what you’re saying, I guess I mean that Mexicans are cooking it, it’s not processed and I leave feeling happy

@The Prowler check out The Downsview flea market when you want to take the arctic white corvette for a rip, the food court is a hidden gem, food from all over not to mention the bbq jerk 1st base you tchicken sandwiches and bbq kabobs not that it matters to you but for guise like me I find it reasonably priced

I think if you want to get to 1st base with Chrome Dome, you should step up the flirtatious knob polishing.

I gotta say that I have never said that I am rich. I am financially sound, but I do not toss money around thoughtlessly. I value reasonably priced stuff as much as most people.

That market is about a 1 hour drive from my place. I would take back roads and get there in under two hours. My wife and I do little trips like that in the summer pretty regularly. I will try to remember to get out there sometime this year.

Dude, I gotta tell you that the Mexican and Central American food in Canada is nearly identical to the food in Mexico and Central America. Like you said, the people here making are from those places. I have had food in Mexico and several countries in Central America and there is no noticeable difference. And I go to the restaurants the locals go to, not the ones aimed at the tourists. Same as food from Caribbean countries. The guys that you get the jerk chicken from are most likely from Jamaica and they make it right because people are proud of their food.

These people look like they might know about Latino Food just as much as our resident "expert".

I gotta show this too. According to @Lily, this tastes different in Mexico...give me a break.

Are there any decent Mexican food joints in Europe?​

It can be a bit hard to find decent Mexican food outside of Mexico and the American Soutwest, so I imagine that in Europe good ones are probably somewhat non-existent outside of maybe London.
And I'm talking about straight up Mexican food too, not places like Taco Bell or Chipotle which I'm sure are also in Europe.
Edit: Some meats and dishes an authentic place might serve include flautas, tamales, tacos, carne asada, carnitas, barbacoa, tortas, chilaquiles, chorizo, pozole, huevos rancheros, empanadas, enchiladas, etc

I gotta point this out.

I did not earlier, because I was hoping someone else would notice how ridiculous Lardo is sometimes.

To find out if there is good Mexican Food in Canada, she goes to a page called "Ask Europe" where it says "Ask Europeans questions about their countries!"

Can some explain to Lardo that Canada is not in Europe? She lives an extremely sheltered life....

Fair.

I was coming from a different angle. See, if someone doesn't know what the food is supposed to taste like, how would they know?

I have been eating Mexican food my entire life. Even in the Southwest and California it can be challenging to get authentic ingredients. Also, techniques differ. To get the best tasting "carnitas'...they should be cooked in a huge copper cauldron as they are in Michoacan, Mx. Huge chunks of pork cooking in one. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Anything less and you are settling. It can even be very good, but it's an approximation of the dish.

That's why just because someone is Mexican, it doesn't mean they have the techniques or recipes.

We still have frozen tamales that we made before Christmas. My son-in-law shared some my daughter prepped for his lunch with a Mexican co-worker. His co-worker asked him what Mexican lady made them. He's Caucasian so it clearly wasn't him. Lol, he said "My mother-in-law."

When you know, you know. But I make them authentically. Freshly ground corn dough (not corn flour/Maseca) rehydrated dried guajillo and pasilla peppers, actual rendered lard from a Mexican butcher shop and not hydogenated "lard" from a store, etc.

Fidelity to authentic recipes matters to me. It is too much work to do a half-assed job in my view.

A couple of months ago I ordered menudo at a Mexican restaurant. Mexican people own the place. It is a soup. It was god awful, bland AF. I tried to fix it with the garnishings. I couldn't rehabilitate it.

I at maybe a few ounces and pusjhed it aside. The owner asked me if I wanted a to go container. I didn't complain, I just politely declined with a "no, thank you." I would never give it a second chance.

Just being Mexican and putting together a dish doesn't mean you're getting good authentic dishes, salsas or even aguas frescas.

Just like all good food, there is an art and science to it.

I'm still learning new things from Mexican cooks I follow on youtube and other social media.

Since you like cooking, you might enjoy "Cocinando con Raquel" and Zachary Rodriguez on youtube. I know I do. Not sure if Raquel's videos are captioned in English. I haven't bothered to check because I watch them in Spanish.

I know it's too long and you might not read, but thought a good explanation is fair inspite of the trolling I was doing.

My wife is doing some cooking and I realized that I forgot to include this most awesome hot pepper paste from Korea.

Wannabe Mexicans can not handle the heat packed in this paste!!!
