food

i dunno if it's tex-mex, i think it's western mex. but if a menu has a dish with birria, i get it. or any of the portmanteaus like quesabirria.

Chips and guacamole

Migas for breakfast. Tamales for everything else.

Idk if this is really Tex Mex but a good taco al pastor is in its own league. Elote is the food of gods.

pozole (or any soup) if they have it during winter

Enchiladas verdes

Idk if it's texmex or what, but most of the taquerias near me sell Tortas, which are basically just some of the most bomb sandwiches I've had. They'll usually have a slab of queso fresco, some refried beabs, protein, letuce, tomatoes or pico, sour cream/mayo, and peppers all served on a sliced roll.

Any time I can get a California Burrito (Cal-mex?), I'll go for it.

Elote (more of a traditional Mexican street food) is also pretty great.

Alambre is like a pile of grilled peppers, onion, melted cheese and protein that you grab at with tortillas. It's a great dish to share.

I'm always a sucker for a nice chimichanga

I had Flaming Hot Esquites once and was transported to flavor town
