Best Mexican food I’ve ever had was in Ligonier, Indiana. Second best came from the back of a truck in Akron, Indiana. If you know, you know.

Tell me you've never left the Midwest without telling me...
Tbh you’d be surprised. I’m not super well-traveled, but I have eaten great Mexican food in Florida, Texas, and AZ. But, the people running this little spot (and the other food truck) are former migrant workers and only recently have settled in this area for work in the chicken/egg farms and the RV plants. Logansport, IN is the same way due to the huge Tyson chicken plant. It’s not bastardized midwestern arroz con pollo—it’s pretty legit.

True story, as a school admin I have a few kids from Hispanic families that bring authentic tacos for their birthday treats every year, as opposed to cookies or cupcakes. My favorite days of the year, for sure.

You’d never think it, but rural north central/northeastern Indiana is actually a decent locale for authentic Mexican grub.

Best Mexican food I ever ate was in Tucson.

Every thing else about the area was apocalyptical, but the food was pretty great.

If one of the lurking beat reporters doesn’t ask Young about Mexican food after his visit I’ll be disappointed

You can't expect Tom Loy to blow his cover by asking Young if he tried any South Bend Mexican cuisine.

Young’s visited all over, I expect him a breakdown on every city not just South Bend. What type of Mexican food is Eugene enticing folks with

There's usually a strong direct correlation between "Risk of getting stabbed/ shot" and "Quality of local Mexican food."

I picutre Mexican Food in Indiana being made by someone that looks like Tim Tebow's mom.
LOL. Actually, there are authentic Mexican restaurants on like every corner in Indy.

There is a little Mexican groceries store a few miles from my house. They have a little restaurant that only opens a few days a week for lunch that has the best steak burritos I've ever had. There homemade green hot sauce is fantastic as well.

Not if you’re the one doing the stabbing,……….


Anyway, Baja Mex is where it’s at for me. I’m not talking these fish stick tacos everyone else calls baja style,… I mean REAL Baja style Mexican. I concur with those who state SD and LA have the best Mexican in the States… Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas aren’t to be laughed at either though, however all other states I’ve been to kind of are. I’ve been told by my Mexican neighbors and coworkers and such that Chicago is a gem for legit Mexican,… though I’ve never been. I’m sure many here have though,… thoughts??

Any chance we can we clean this up and take it to the food thread?

Chicago has a large Mexican population. Not surprising that the cuisine is authentic.
