    My wife lived in a few places in so cal and says the same thing.

    I agree after going to San Diego. If there is women in the restaurant making homemade corn abs flour tortillas it’s not authentic. That being said, Montizumas and Salud in Camden are excellent choices.

    If I can pronounce the name and the menu is in English chances are it ain’t that great. I was just in Nevada for 3 weeks. I ate Mexican nearly every day. I couldn’t pronounce any of the places and had to point at stuff on the menu. I didn’t want to leave

    Real Mexico.

    As for a mini-chain, I also like Brothers and Beer in Lexington. Our convenience go-to.

    Sorry for the humungous pics. I hope that some day soon, one of these tech geniuses'll figure out how to make uploading pictures less annoying.

    That is the proper amount of cilantro. I hate when I get tacos and they sprinkle it on like it’s just for decoration.

    Indeed, Andrew Skinner.

    Oh, and here's a worthless fact: coriander is cilantro in seed form. Or cilantro is coriander in leaf form. Learnt that yesterday.

    Fonda Rosalinda’s on Pleasantburg Dr. in Greenville is about as authentic Mexican/LATAM as I’ve ever had. Check it out if you ever come to town.

    The only real Mexico food I have ever had was from a portly fella selling it out of a pos van to the boys working in a tomato field, and when I was in high school I worked at a cucumber shed in beautiful manning sc. One of the Spanish families that working there tolerated me and would invite me to eat with them at lunch time. This was before I had ever even seen a Mexican restaurant. That was some of the best food I have ever had. Mater of fact, I was eating in the back of one of their trucks once and went to kinda slide jump of the side onto the ground and a tie down hook caught my old duck head shorts and ripped them clean off. I don’t think I have ever seen people laugh that hard sense then. They ran around, fell down, slapped the ground and had a big time. Mexicans have a wonderful sense of humor.
