When I first came to Gainesville the "Mexican" food options were Burrito Bros and Ashley's Pub. After spending the previous nine months in Albuquerque and Austin, Texas I would have to say that what we call Mexican food options were not that good. Way better in the Southwest. Tex-Mex really isn't Mexican food, though. Real Mexican food is a great cuisine like Italian. It varies wildly from region to region. It is not one thing.

But real Mexican food is awesome. Won't find it in Gainesville except on occasion at my dinner table.

There are some dishes at La Tienda that are in the style of true Mexican cuisine but really not that well prepared.

 

I agree. Maybe I'll get some good Mexican take out from a pretty real deal local spot in three days when I WATCH SOME GATOR BASKETBALL!!

Edit to add: THREE DAYS!

 

Come to Polk, Hillsborough or Orange counties. Gets pretty authentic here as far as Latin and Caribbean food goes.
