Mexican food over here suffers from the same issues as curry. If you get a good, authentic mexican meal it is wonderfull, otherwise it suffers from one pot masala syndrome. The same basic sauce or filling with variable quantities of chili in it to diferentiate between the 'different' dishes.

Corona Victoria was my fave when I was out there for a while, but XX is good too.

I never found this out, but is there any difference between Corona & Coronita? Didn't taste like it - esp with a wedge of lime in the top...

Coronita = smaller bottle IIRC.

Ever eaten El Gusanito? Seen people fight over thsat little worm before. Doesn't actually do anything by all accounts. Get a better high from scraping the stuff off a banana skin and smoking it!

Obviously only ever had the cooking tequila tulipe that they sell here then.

Proper tequila is a sipping drink, much like a fine malt.

The smell of (the tulipe) tequila makes me gag these days. Not sure I'd therefore be able to try the proper stuff without dry retching.

And just what is the bleeding difference between Burritos, Enchilladas, Chimichangas, Tacos, Fajitas etc. etc.??
They are all just the same bleeding flat bland tasteless piece of dough anyway. Might as well wrap them up in a chamois for all the taste they add.
Still, for a nation that cannot fashion anything more tasty on the alcoholic front than Tequila, my hopes were never high!

Sol is Mexican beer. I guess that SY01 drinks beer. So, not the grubby answer you were hoping for!

Best Mexican beer I've tried is Dos Equis ... yum

xx is muchos good cervesa

they used to sell cases of it at my local majestic, but not any more

Pacifico is also nice.

What is "sol" , is it an euphemism for something that you regularly indulge in ?

I bet it tastes like tulip and they are gone within 12 months.

They didn't last long the first time around.

Did they call it Wahaca because nobody outside fo Mexico can pronounce Oaxaca properly?

Yep

[fullyautomatix]

don't forget the slice of lime in your chilled bottle of "sol"
