re: Do you have a "home base" Mexican restaurant?

I go to Mexico enough that I know the regions. We mostly get Tex mex here but Oaxacan is what's favored in Mexico itself.
Moles and hearty meals. Burritos and nachos aren't a thing in Mexico really.
Crispy tacos are American.
I like Mayan cuisine. Like fish tikin chik. Or arrencho steak.

Tamales wrapped in banana leaf and corn empanadas.

What surprised me is how common spicy pasta is instead of rice. They serve a spaghetti with red sauce that is spicy rather than Mexican rice with the meat commonly in the Yucatan.
