This town has about 60,000 people. 100,000 in the metro area. I just counted. There are 16 Mexican restaurants. Some of them are within brief walking distance of each other. And no, I'm not counting Taco Bell.
Unfortunately for me, I'm not a big fan of Mexican food.
obligatory "oh, you just haven't been to the right place yet; i know a great spot!"
I have a very good answer for them- I don't really like peppers or beans. I also don't really like the way Mexican meat is seasoned and I don't really like any of the Mexican cheese I've had. None of it is a dealbreaker if other people want to go to Mexican food, but it would be far from my first choice.

I'll eat anything but Mexican food is top tier gobbler fodder
i like things that are ergonomically easy to eat. the burrito form factor is freakin amazing. all in one, no utensils. its a utilitarian dream.
but when i go to a restaurant they destroy the utility. its suddenly on this plate covered is sauces! what?!
There are handheld burritos, and burritos. Where I’m from the handheld ones are sold to-go in foil but restaurants always drench theirs in sauce. You could ask for the sauce on the side, but you’re still supposed to eat it with a fork unless you’re in your car or walking around.
People are allowed to not enjoy the things you enjoy. I don't like bananas either.
From what I’ve gathered you live in Indiana or something, so you might not have had exposure to the finest Mexican food.
As far as cheeses, asadero is pretty solid. It’s like a denser mozzarella with more flavor. Sort of like a gooier provolone.
I used to live in L.A.
For a year I even lived in South Gate where we were one of the only English-speaking families.
I just don't like Mexican food very much.
ha, i feel this kinda. i get shit all the time when tell people i 'dont really like indian food' ... they go on and on about the tasting this and that and spices and blah blah blah.. finally they ask me what i dont like about it.. and i say 'the texture'
'oh'.
Indian food is a huge variety mind you. Even the texture of tandoori chicken?
Yeah that comment doesn't really make sense. I feel like the most common Indian food around me is saucy meat and/or vegetables with rice. Which is very similar texture to many many other cuisines. But variety exists.
My coworker also told me that he didn't like Indian or Mexican food so I asked him over time about food he likes and his diet is mostly pb&j, spaghetti, or those frozen chicken pot pies with the grandma on the packaging
Some people eat a very limited range of foods and it’s often the same things over and over again. There can be various reasons for this.
On an objective level, your opinion is wrong. However some people have wrong tastes and that's okay.
My friend is from a smallish town (~4k) and they don't like Mexican food much, either. (And the southern US cuisine is also something they are "meh" on.) Not a whole lot of restaurant food they like around their neck of the woods.
Oh lordy when they come visit me in the city, they chow down on what we got. It's always fun to have them help me order something I've never tried; I'm not nearly as adventurous when they're not around. (I usually experiment in the kitchen or order something familiar when I go out.)
Just checked my town. 20k people. 30 Mexican restaurants, not counting food trucks and fast food. Complete insanity.
That's insane! Are you at least relatively near the border? I'm in Indiana.
Central Oregon, nowhere near any borders lol
I just don't get it.
Also, I wish it was Indian restaurants that ended up being everywhere. Oh well.
you dont have to like it, but: taco bell is to mexican food what mtv is to music
Does that make Del Taco VH1?
but... i like del taco.. .aw who am i kidding i loved vh1.
lets just always say yes to del taco
I agree, that's why I said I didn't count Taco Bell.
woops, misread that, sorry!
