rt, some people said Chipotle is more like American food. Just want to know everybody’s opinion on this subject.
The burritos aren’t rolled in the Burit region of Mexico so they’re just sparkling carnitas.
The Burritans are not a fan of people using the word outside the region.
No. Burritos as such aren’t Mexican. Insomuch as they do exist they’re much much smaller, no cheese/sour cream/lettuce, typically no rice.
However that doesn’t mean they aren’t good food. Tex mex slaps and authentic Mexican slaps
lol no. taco bell is more “mexican” than chipolte
It’s Tex mex just like Taco Bell
I think it’s pretty solidly in the Tex-Mex category, which is so much more popular in America than actual Mexican food that “Mexican” is better considered a casual alternative to saying Tex-Mex. If you actually mean authentic Mexican, you should probably specify that, or even better, name the specific region. It’s normal to see a restaurant advertised as Oaxacan or Yucatan, for example.
No, it’s Californian food… which is vaguely inspired by Mexican food.
It’s not even Californian food. Californians do not make rice that shitty.
I mean the same way Taco Bell is Mexican, Olive Garden is Italian, or any American Chinese food is Chinese. It’s not “food from that area” but instead “food that reminds you of that area.” That’s how American culture works. People say America has no culture because everyone brings their own. Well, this is American culture, a bunch of food that’s not from the places your family is from but food that might remind you of those places.
That said I personally would consider it Mexican-flavored American food along with Taco Bell, Taco Time, Taco Del Mar, etc. That said when I say “I feel like Mexican food tonight” I’m thinking of Mexican-flavored American food because you simply can’t get Mexican Food in America as readily.
It’s Americanized Mexican, at best. Personally, I cannot stand the taste though, so I’m also not the best judge probably.
I’d call it Mexican-inspired, at the very best.
Not Mexican, but definitely South American.
I was confused by your wording, but I think you mean South of the USA rather than South America.
I consider Chipotle as Mexican as I consider Panda Express Chinese.
I guess next you’re gonna tell me that Olive Garden isn’t Italian.
It’s not even in a garden.
let’s just call it “Mexican-inspired”
I asked my husband who’s from Mexico, and he said, “Kinda? Not really.”
He added, and I quote, “Flour tortillas are not Mexican.”
Your husband casually insults his compatriots from the northern mexican states. Smh
I thought it was, but now that I read the title, I’m second-guessing my assumption. I know I was surprised to learn fortune cookies are not Chinese.
I knew a Mexican girl who I don’t think considered it fully “mexican” but liked it quite a lot still.
