Mexican food.....how many times a week is too much???
My team here wanted Mexican for lunch.....
Two nights ago I met my Aunt for dinner at a Mexican place (her choice.)
I've just been invited to go to dinner with a friend and her husband, they are going to a Mexican place after work today.
Do people in Mexico have this issue? Do they not get heartburn or get tired of all the seasoning making things taste pretty much the same.
I think I'm going to bring a PBJ sandwich with me....just kidding. I do like the food, but this is getting serious now.....another meal this week and I'm sure I'll know Spanish.

Kasey, if you ever get to Ogden on a gun run, I'll treat you to El Paisa.

D-R Goat meat is Cabrito sometimes called Birria or chivo depending upon the age of the goat and mostly how it is cooked, not a fan of goat myself but many folks love it. I prefer beef dishes sometimes chicken.
Eating a homemade beef, rice, beans onions cheese and salsa burrito as I type this....
Forgot about barbacoa is also made with goat sometimes though around here it mostly beef and /or pork and chicken, it was traditionally cooked in the ground but not so much these days, folks use smokers a lot, but it is probably what your friend was talking about it is basically a slow cooked meat dish in the south/central America regions before the Spanish even arrived here in the Western world.
thanks
thats it " Birria " his English was good but sometimes I had a hard time with some of his words as I am sure my hillbonics were for him LOL
off subject and sorry I have to add about Al what every one called him I think his real name at least part of it was aldolpho
the small town he was from he said no one owned a refrigerator each meal they would go into the town and buy it for a dollar or less .
his family had and were constructing a one kitchen central room in the house and each family member added their own wing ? to the central kitchen as their living and sleeping areas and shared all the cost of the place he was working on his section when we worked together he could not wait to move back
and the company seem to agree they finally booted him out
his wife could not speak any English never left the house unless going back to mexico to visit with him . she could not and he would not let her learn to drive . he did later on get cable TV with Spanish speaking station she could watch what a great guy LOL . but he was not much on allowing his wife to do any thing

We have a place here in Ogden that serves genuine interior Mexico food. It's called El Paisa. It has an all-you-can-eat taco bar but the real menu is simply fabulous. Peruse it here...
We also have a place that serves nothing but Sinoloan-style open-pit chicken. He cooks 40 to 50 chickens every night, and serves them up the next day. If he runs out, it's tough luck until tomorrow. Senor Pollo's is the name, and they don't even have a website. Tiny place - used to be a Quizno's - with picnic tables inside for service. It's scrumptious.
I'll have to stop next time I'm in Ogden (used to live there).

They have a very nice burger menu.

Best gun buddy and I went to gun show in Charlotte, several years ago. Stopped at a newly opened Mexican food joint for lunch at Concord Mills. You know near Bass Pro shop. His preferred meal, cheap and plentiful as he always bought the meals.
Saw his wife a few days later and she said never again should I take him there.

I can eat it almost three or four times a week, but thank God I'm 75% Italian. My wife has learned to hate Pasta, Olives, peppers and cheese. Donna is Amish, so all she eats is German food, that I absolutely hate with a passion. 🤮!!! I would rather eat the balls off a road killed raccoon, than German food.

Speaking of German food. Had to try kraut dumplings once upon a great time.
About the worst meal I ever had😝. Now I do like sour kraut by itself

Spent almost two years in Germany and I would eat their food almost as much as Mexican, but near 45 years of traveling the US never found but one or two restaurants that made it like I had over there, too bad they were not anywhere near I live, so it's Mexican and my own American recipes for the most part of my diet...

Just because we've been talking about it, I took SWMBO to El Paisa today. I had Birria De Res. It was fabulous. It came with a little tub of hot sauce. I have always thought restaurant "hot sauce" was a sham. Until today. That little tub had to be ghost pepper sauce. Ay chihuahua! Almost too hot for me - and that's saying something.

I could eat Mexican 365 days out of the year.

i found this counter inside the little Mex grocery store that sells the best Carne asada tacos. They are small chunks of beef and cooked on a flattop. A few onions and cilantro. corn tortillas. I’m so addicted I go at least once a week.
Now we also have a million Mexican places in GA. They all serve the same form of gringo food. Salty as he!! And designed to sell Margaritas. I swear I have to drink water all night after this salting

My husband is a "sauce nut".....nothing isn't better slathered in some kind of sauce to him. Hot stuff.....stinky stuff....green....white....red....brown.....I just don't get it at all. You have to talk him into trying the food before he starts to doctor it up.....and even if he agrees it is GREAT, he's still going to start dribbling stuff on it.
I'm starting to feel my age a bit as far as food choices go.....I can smell something and I know exactly what its going to do to me. Spicy isn't so much a problem, but HOT is a no go and a lot of red sauce is heartburn city.....greasy is just a total nightmare in every form it can be.
I'd love to be more adventurous....and being a larger person you all KNOW I do love food.

I am about spice for flavor in my food not spice for heat..

Although I REALLY like the Hot and Spicy - I REALLY pay for it the day after.
Johnny Cash "Ring of Fire," comes to mind. 😮😔🤕

Yep exactly.

Depends on how violent you want things to get.
Occasional squeaker? Meh.
Insist on dousing everything in a sauce named "El Muerta Culo"? Maybe reevaluate your dining priorities.😫

Eating should not be painful
