Wow. 2.50? That is like.... 40 pesos! One here are about half that price at there. Kind of ,all the food is cheaper in Mexico. Ex. A bottle of coke of 600 ml. (Odk how many in oz.) Is about 1.25 us. (Like 20 pesos) In mexico is 11 pesos, almost half that price.
That's a pretty good price for the Coke, considering I usually pay anywhere from a buck to a buck fifty for a 16oz (473ml) bottle of Coke from Mexico.
Yep. Food is mexico is quite cheap honestly. Even more with the current dolar price. 1 dlr. Is around 16.5 pesos right now. (16 from dlr to peso) That is just an example. Today in the morning I ate 9 tacos and a coke (500 ml.) And I payed 58 pesos. (3.5 dlrs)
Yeah, and I ate in a random place in the street. There are a lot of places to eat tacos in the street in mexico, as well as other stuff .
From what I've read, the biggest problem with dining is Mexico is getting food that isn't Mexican. Where I live, I have easy access to American, Cuban, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, British, Italian, French, Greek, Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese restaurants. I like tacos... but I like variety even more.
You have a point. Yeah. As a mexican I can agree with that, although there are restaurants that sell other kind of food. Not that much, but is something. Where I live we have japanese food, Chinese, some restaurants that have more food from thr USA and some italian. Is not that much but for the size of my city is alright. Is not that big. Is actually 3 cities together, forming a metropolitan area. Oh, and mexican food just dosnt stop in tacos and burritos. There are a lot more. We have tortas, gorditas, bocoles, (this 3 being quite common and easy to make), as well as more elaborated food. Mexican food is one of the biggest ones in the world, like the french but less... 'classy' I guess.
French food sucks. It's all about heavy sauces and tiny portions. I prefer Mexican food. Bold flavors, simple ingredients, and portions that are visible without a magnifying glass.
I'm not a huge fan of French cuisine, but it doesn't all come in tiny portions. Some 'French' restaurants seem to confuse portion size with sophistication, true, but the French like hearty food just as much as anyone; they do casseroles, and steaks and other such things in large helpings. It's generally haute cuisine, or some feeble attempt at it, that comes in small, rich portions.
I really like German food, but there aren't good German places near me. Maybe I should try that Polish place. Some Polish dishes are pretty similar to German.
I've seen French "chefs" take a beautiful cut of prime steak and pour Bearnaise sauce over it. That's like putting ketchup on it! It totally overpowers the flavor of the meat!
