Are you referring to something specific? and per google and Wiki you would be correct A molcajete is a stone tool, the traditional Mexican version of the mortar and pestle, similar to the South American batan, used for grinding various food product

Jauronimo Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Most "Mexican" restaurants in the states are serving you poor versions of Tex Mex. I'll take real Mexican over Tex Mex all day. Unless you're in Texas the Tex Mex is highly likely to suck. I never understood the appeal of fajita until I moved to Houston and tried some of the original Tex Mex spots. I still prefer moles, cochinita pibil, ceviches, and street tacos but I see why queso, fajita, and gringo tacos are popular.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 2, 2018 Author Posted August 2, 2018 If that's the case, then most people don't live in an area with a large mexican/central american population. Because if you have a sizeable one, and you're willing to try places, you can find some REALLY good ****.

One small town (15000 or so people) has at least 4-5 plcaes (2 of them being food trucks) that serve nothing that's anything like what's being described above. If I want central american food, I can drive to a pupuseria about 20 minutes away. All kinds of Honduran food there. 1

Saxum Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Only Mexican dish I really liked was over 30 years ago at college and I am sure she looks like guacamole now.
