> I live in Dallas now, the Tex Mex here is just horrible (comparatively). It's more of a Cali/modern inspired style.

California would like a word with you...

To call Cal/Mex cuisine 'horrible' is patently ridiculous. If you can say that, haven't had a gordita from an L.A. roach coach, or a green corn tamale from El Cholo, or a Mission style burrito, etc etc.

Oh, and lest we not forget San Diego - a legit fish taco is sublime.
