Yes theirs is more authentic.Some recipes in the states have been changed because certain ingredients weren't available.

yes

Totally! different! In fact, just as in the US there are regional foods which are pleasantly different depending which part of the country you are in. Be adventurous and taste the local cuisine, you will always be pleasantly surprised, and always ask for the degree of hot or picante so that your dish won't be uneatable.

yep, and mexican food in the U.S. puajjj,stinks!! I mean it!
The real mexican food is eaten in Mexico, of course, as everybody says in the U.S. food is americanised.

Definately. For that matter, cusine in Mexico itself is diffrent from state to state. What we eat here in Sinaloa for example looks and tastes nothing like they eat in Quitana Roo.

HELL YEAH
In united states they use flour tortillas and yellow cheese.
In mexico we use the real ingredients.
In united states they put to much thing on the tacos.

Most "mexican food in the US is realy Texmex
You'll find the food here in mexico quite different

elmo o

absolutely.
is the food in sonora different than in df?
the further you get from the border the more gringoized the food gets.
if you see a sign tat says authentic it means GRINGOS EAT HERE, and no self respecting hispanic would be caught inside except to work.
tex mex is an exception. i prefer sonora style, i carry brown habenero sause with me, but tex mex is pretty darned good to me.

The food in Mexico is much better, not all spicy and hot, there are many dishes, for all tastes...

what does the illegals have to do with the bad mexican food in the us?
gosh that's so racist, and it has nothing to do with that!!!!

Mexican food in New Mexico and Arizona is v-e-r-y spicy, sometimes almost too hot! And it is very different from the mexican food of Mexico. I like all of it!

Even Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California each have their own particular kinds of mexican food.

It is way different.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! It is not even close. Mexican restaurants in the U.S. cater to American's version, or their concept of what Mexican food should be like. I find it quite bland and unappealing. I've talked to restaurant owners who state that they would lose business if they tried making and selling food as it is made in their country. Instead, they fill their menus with the typical and expected fare...i.e. chimichangas, tacos, tamales. The same stuff as the next Mexican restaurant. Cheese on top of tortillas, with lettuce and tomatoes on the side. Try ordering "tacos de lengua" next time u visit ur local "mexican" restaurant. Or "tacos de cabrito". There are so many delicious dishes that just don't sell in the USA because we Americans are used to the same items on the menu. Try an authentic, and I mean authentic, restaurant next time. It probably means going deep into the barrio, but it might be worth your palate.

yes

if you like hot food and I mean hot hot, Mexico is where its at. It is far more spicier there than US. that"s why those bulls have smoke coming out their noses.

That food is cooked by real mexicans. The stuff here in the states is made by illegals.
No really, I guess a little different.
