Well, matey mate, nachos are a TexMex stuff, not Mexican,
so the most 'nacho' country in the world is the U.S. and particularly
the Lonesome Star State of Texas...
ANY place in the world where you see they sell nachos, fajita pita, and
that ugly stuff with yellow cheese and sour cream, and the tables
have a tabasco sauce bottle, be sure it is NOT a Mexican restaurant.
Originally posted by SeitseYou're right -- Tex/Mex is a whole other world of cuisine. My ex-girlfriend is a Yankee from Pennsylvania and the first time I visited her home state, her parents picked us up from the Philly airport and we drove about an hour down the turnpike until everyone decided that they were hungry. We pulled over to an Applebees (it's sorta like Chili's little sister) and she wanted to know if I'd split an order of chips and salsa with her and her parents. Immediately I thought to myself: Here I am in the middle of Pennsylvania, where we just came from Philly and they have something they're all very proud of called a cheesesteak which I've never eaten and you can't get anywhere else in the world. Furthermore, we just came from Texas where you can get the best Tex/Mex in the world and she wants to order chips and salsa from a fern bar in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch country where everything tastes bland. I could only imagine what they would bring us so I declined. Of course she persisted and they brought out something that tasted like cold, watered down ketchup and told us it was salsa. I think I ordered a club sandwich, which no one, anywhere can mess up. The moral of the story is: When in Rome, do as the Romans do or order a club sandwich.

Yup, TexMex is a cuisine in its own, I would say. It is unfair to compare with Mexican and viceversa, and deserves to be judged by its own standards. I would say the BEST texmex I've tried is Pancho's Grill & Bar in Laredo, Texas. Yummy!
