Green chili is new Mexican garbage. If you aren't manly enough for texmex, just stick with soufflé and foie gras!

I had a former client in Albuquerque. I'm the first to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the green chile, but I had the best shredded beef burrito covered in red and green chile sauce at a place called La Salita. Highly recommend it if you're ever out there.

Too many mid-western transplants who don't like spicy food and "healthy food" trends which has eradicated the use of lard has made our tex-mex a shadow of itself. Gotta go to Houston (can't believe I am saying that) or San Antonio to find the good ole larded up enchiladas. There is one place in Ft Worth that still uses lard.

Oh, and Mexican food in Denver???? What a joke...............If you want great green chile mexican food, go to Chopey's in New Mexico just across the state line from El Paso............

yes...delicious mexican food in Denver. we are also across the state line from new mexico. and happen to have a very, very large hispanic population...in fact as large as dallas. and of course "new mexico" has the best "new mexican food."

ps im from the midwest. texan's destroyed tex mex, not us. we don't want anything to do with it. i love spicy food.

Oh Man, Tomasita's is one of my all time favorites. Haven't been there in years. The people I go to Santa Fe with always dictate that we go to The Shed to eat. It is o.k. but it is no Tomasitas.

I don't know if they are still owned by the same people or not, but years ago the owner's would be known to close up shop when ever they felt like it....even if customer's were just arriving and the posted hours on the door said otherwise. Just something we put up with for some reason.

Junior,
Where in Austin is Polvo's located? Usually down that way in the summer and early fall.

Polvo's is on South 1st street, maybe 2 miles south of town lake. Awesome spot.
