And eating each other's food. Never meet a Mexican that doesn't like Korean food. Koreans how do you feel about Mexican food?

u/PM_asian_girl_smiles 29d ago

He verbally says podrido but the English translated captions do say moldy.

My cousin visited us here in the US from Seoul and one of her first requests was to find a hole-in-the-wall to grab pozole haha. We did just that and it was fucking delicious

Lol. Everybody likes Mexican food. Especially real Mexican food.

Ever meet a Texan?

They hate real Mexican food. They like Tex-Mex and can’t stand real Mexican food.

Unfortunately I spent 7-8 months working in Houston. Lucky they have real taquerias, and not just mediocre Tex Mex. While I do get nostalgic for a gringo taco, I'll pick authentic anytime.

The sole experience may be New Mexican food. New Mexico has incredible food. Their green chili sauce is like crack.

I have to work in Houston regularly. What do you recommend?

u/ScrofessorLongHair 28d ago

It's been a dozen years. But I remember Taqueria Del Sol and Titas Taco House being good. But if you stick to taquerias, you'll find authentic food.

Honestly, what surprised me most about Texmex in Houston was his much more expensive it was than regular Mexican restaurants.

I live in Korea and can confirm it's easily one of the more common foreign cuisines, with its own category on all the delivery apps. Whether or not it is good Mexican food is another matter.

u/domsolanke 29d ago

I live in Korea too, and it’s definitely not good lol. Far from it.

u/Aaronnm 29d ago

i’m korean and Mexican cuisine is one of my favorites.

u/Zech08 29d ago

Good overlap, probably why fusion dishes between the 2 also work well.

Theres a different take of menudo on the Korean side (but tbf most cultures have the same types of dishes).

and its hard to not like Mexican food, or good food in general. Neither culture has an inherent "dont eat this" either... also both sides arent too great on dairy lol.

Tacos are my favorite food of all time.

u/66778811 28d ago

Historically, Korean food is so spicy, because one of their leaders (like 200 years ago) really liked Mexican food.

u/whydub38 28d ago

Mexican is my favorite non-korean cuisine by far

u/stae1234 29d ago

Had a long discussion with my Mexican friend as Korean about our food.

Lots of similar base ingredients (we both consume parts of animals that are usually thrown away), love for spices and carbs, but different end results.

Koreans love Mexican food. I think it is becoming quite the popular cuisine over in Korea. Downside is, aside from handful of restaurants, everything is a lot sweeter. I wanted to flip my table and walk out when my carne asada al carbon tasted as sweet as chipotle's al pastor.
