Do You Like Mexican Food?

I am a relative virgin when it comes to Mexican food. I have only consumed it two or three times in my life. Once I had a frozen burrito; and two other times I had a chicken dinner with Mexican seasoning, black beans and pico de gallo. How about you? Do you enjoy a Taco Tuesday or go to a Mexican restaurant on a regular basis? I know a couple of you that do! Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tostadas...What is your favorite? Have you actually been to Mexico and had Mexican street food? I know one of you that has! I would want something with chicken, no onions and not too spicy. Let's share our Mexican food experiences.

We are far enough away from Mexico that we do not have much Mexican food places to eat at up here. I dislike alot of spices so that bodes well with me.

Mexican food is not very popular here in Europe, we are so far away from Mexico. There are a few Mexican dishes that I like, but Mexican cuisine is not my favorite. I like guacamole, pico de gallo and fajitas, no burritos or enchiladas.

@LindaOHio Home made is good, store bought not at all. I had good guacamole in some Mexican restaurants in San Diego and in Arizona, near the border with Mexico.

I went to Mexico but only stayed for a couple of hours and didn't eat anything while I was there. I was picking up a friend I went to school with and brought him back to the US. (Yes, he is a US citizen.) My first wife would ONLY eat Mexican food while she was pregnant with Pretty. I couldn't eat it for years after that. I will eat a burrito or tostada once in a while now.

Mexican food and I don't like each other. It's a totally mutual feeling. I've had it twice that I know of. My boyfriend was the recipient of the burrito on my first experience with it, and out of courtesy, I had a taco. I made certain it wasn't spicy.

I love Mexican food. It is my 2nd favorite after Italian. I've been to Mexico 11 times. Most of what you find in the US is "Tex-Mex" and not authentic Mexican.

We love Mexican food! Living where we do, there is Mexican influence everywhere, so there are many restaurants we can go to. But, a lot of it we can cook ourselves at home. I literally love any of it - I love spicy but unfortunately cannot handle it as well these days.

Yes, there are many really good Mexican restaurants here, some are family owned and have links with restaurants in Juarez or even Mexico city.

No! (Shoving chicken taco salad in my mouth) What makes you think I like Mexican food???? (Drinking salsa through a straw) I like what we call “Mexican,” and I’ve also had chicken mole, which was simply outstanding.

@LindaOHio — it can have chocolate in it. And it’s very delicious when it does!

@LindaOHio Mexican food has become so popular but I've never had any and there are no Mexican restaurants nearby. I don't know if I'm missing anything but I'm not terribly fond of very spicy food.

I love Mexican food but it doesn't love me. Since having my gallbladder removed I can't tolerate extremely spicy food like I used to. Not even cinnamon, ginger, pepper, cloves or nutmeg. To much of it and I am in agony for 3 days. I do enjoy a good plate of nachos with very mild salsa occasionally.

Mexican food is my second favorite ethnic cuisine next to Chinese. We eat it often. But I am like you on the spicy thing. I don't like spicy. Usually if we go out for Mexican I'll get a combination plate complete with spanish rice and refried beans. Love it.
