    Ground beef, Velveeta, rotel, flour tortillas, fish bowl margaritas, nachos, caesar salad (really); free unlimited totopos and salsa Mexicana, honorable mention to fajitas & burritos although not actually tex mex. Refried pinto beans made with lard, Spanish rice made with rotel mandatory with all plates. Numbered menu items or entirely renamed dishes to avoid even referencing in passing any actual Mexican cuisine.

    Plastic, laminated table cloths, red plastic 40oz textured glasses, parking lot is >80% beat to hell pick up trucks, borderline racist decor and merchandise. If you hear anyone speak Spanish at any point, automatic disqualification.

      Fajitas are definitely a Tex-Mex dish. Try ordering them in Mexico and they'll look at you like you just grew a third eye in your forehead.

        It's carne asada with a different name. I'll grant you chicken fajitas, though.

      Maybe it's changed in the past 15 years since I've been. 🤷 Or rose-colored glasses.
