        Those minor offenses are actually just New Mexican fare. Ground beef in the green chile and sour cream are pretty par for course here.

          New Mexico is on a whole different level when it comes to fucking up Mexican dishes. I ordered tamales at a New Mexican restaurant once and they put sauce on it. Freaking sauce on a tamale. To make matters worse, it tasted like the burnt bits from a red enchilada sauce that was left on the stove for way too long.

          Needless to say, I learned my lesson. Forget meth, the new slogan should be, “New Mexican food: not even once.”

            The safe thing to do is order traditional New Mexican food in New Mexico, like posolé, carne adovada, green chile stew, calabacitas, etc. Otherwise, it’s like going to Southern Spain and wanting amazing pintxos.

            But it does sound like you went to a truly atrocious restaurant by the sound of that abomination; my condolences.

        Aren’t you a fellow Texan? I’ve seen all kinds of crazy shit here, even in places like South Padre. There’s just something about that burrito that seems like a burrito made for someone who has never seen a burrito. And possibly by someone who only heard one described.

        You don’t understand! It’s so hard to find good Mexican food, at all, on most of the east coast! Just moved away from Maryland.

    It’s a crêpe right? That’s a condensed milk on top right? There are fruits inside right?

    For all I know this might not taste like shit, but that presentation is more of an insult than anything else.

    I had a vegetarian quesadilla with pineapple and broccoli a few times. Delicious as fuck. Sad the restaurant stopped making it. I only stopped going because they changed their margaritas recipe and they suck now

    Did they immediately bring you the check after? Maybe they were trying to get rid of you.

    Ok, maybe it was a pastor cheese burrito?

    That’s all I got. It’s still disgusting thinking about.

    Not that I need it, but remind me never to visit Virginia.

    Sorry for your lack of a great cuisine. Fine Mexican food is, imho, one of the things in life that make it worth living.
