I am from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I wish this country had a good Mexican or New Mexican restaurant. The few that i have seen are pathetically bad. Actually not Mexican food at all. Mexican food primarily uses Pinto Beans as a filler, they taste good too, sometimes potatoes, not Rice. Also New Mexican food uses Green Chilis, Mexican food Jalapenos, nothing like that here.

I ate at Tacos and Enchiladas once. The meal was pricey and pathetically bad, not even close to Mexican food. The other restaurant I ate at off of Itaewon St. was not particularly good.

I am serious, if they had a Taco Bell here in Korea that served the same stuff Taco Bells do in Albuquerque, they would have something that could be called Mexican. Taco Bells in New Mexico serve real Mexican food, although very cheap stuff.

Before you go to any of the Mexican restaurants here in Korea, which are usually pricey, just go to McDonald's instead. The food is better there.


Did you read the thread title?


Hey hey, mexican/marmite. . .they're only six letters apart Laughing

Vegemite? 1) Find a rusty barrel lying in a ditch near the han river. 2) Scrape the black gunk out of the bottom of the insides & outsides of the barrel and plop it in a jar. Voila : vegemite.

Not sure what this has to do with Marmite, but there's a great Mexican place in that alley behind Coldstone Creamery called Taco Family. I had a chicken burrito there which is as good as any chicken burrito I'd ever had.
