Comment on Those moutains are so quaint
SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 10 hours agoIf youre visiting, get away from the tourist shops. This is true when you’re visiting anywhere. Don’t eat the food made for tourists.
Ask a local, find some place that has a dude selling burritos out of an unmarked doorway counter. If you see an old mexican lady wandering around with a ice chest behind her, shes selling homemade tamales, get that shit.
Food near tourist areas is made bland af to appeal the widest visiting audience.

As another person from the southeast, similar is true down here and most places: a locally known and mildly sketchy situation is the best! (Usually…)
Gas station places with a packed parking lot, open church bbqs, the smoky old dark wood panel places serving the best burger you ever had.
That said, the first time I had a proper tamale when I moved to Texas, omgosh! Magic.
