Authentic Mexican Food vs Tex-Mex

 Tex-Mex is very good and I love to eat it. Tex-Mex is its own category of food. However, one should never confuse Tex-Mex with authentic Mexican cuisine. Mexican cuisine is so vast that it would be very difficult to cover every aspect of Mexican food. This is just a very small example of authentic Mexican cuisine. I do not actually compare this food to Tex-Mex in the video, as most of my viewers already know what a crunchy taco is. Many may know what a chimichanga is. What they don't know is that this dish doesn't exist in any part of Mexico that I have ever visited. It is mostly an American invention. Again, not a bad invention, just not authentic Mexican cuisine.


El Camotero

 Sweet Potatoes and Plantains, covered in sugar, condensed milk and sprinkled with cinnamon! How could it get any better than that? Allow me to introduce you to the Camotero. When you hear his whistle, you should go running to see where he is.
