Unless a person has been down to Mexico, they can not know what authentic Mexican food is. I know I don't.
I only know what I like.
In Texas, you can see signs which say, "NON-ANGLOIZED MEXICAN FOOD".
I know that word, "Angloized" probably doesn't exist, and I am probably not spelling it as they did.
But you get the idea.
Also, as with the Chinese, there are different parts of Mexico which cook their food very differently. I was told by an Asian lady that the "REAL" Chinese food could only be found in San Francisco. I've had the Chinese food there and can say, she was right about it being better.
AS for good, and healthy Mexican food, my husband and I go to El Rincon, in Folsom. They have one of the best salsa's I've ever tasted.
And their chips have a hint of lemon, and are very fresh, which makes them very, very good.
The owner is from Mexico and I'm sure he knows about authentic food. But he also knows Americans don't like lard and uses Canola oil in all his foods.
He is there almost all the time.
