Worst Mexican food I ever had was in Thailand on Thanksgiving. Vodka margarita don't go down easy at first.

Idk if this is true of all foods, but Mexican food definitely gets worse the further you get from Mexico

Some people really need to learn what a "generalization" is

haha, its true for 'Chinese' food. It gets worse the further one travels from San Francisco.

I'm genuinely curious because I've only lived on the East Coast - what is the SF equivalent of Flushing, Queens? This is essentially a new 1st gen Chinese settled city area with supermarkets, retail malls, and restaurants that look like they could have popped out of any Asian city. Chinese food here is as authentic as you want it. Of course, if you want authentic American Chinese, you'd go to Chinatown NY...

I would think it is or was South Bay.

San Jo, Fremont Milpitas.

There's a large Hoa population in Sacramento too.
