had. It’s not like you have to be in Texas anymore for really good Mexican cuisine.

True

They typically are anchors or stoping grounds for illegal immigration. They are owned by one family and then they hire family of guys that own beef, produce producers etc and they slowly bring over relatives in exchange for cheap prices etc.

My buddy is an immigration attorney and I ask this exact question years ago

In Baton Rouge, there are multiple Mexican restaurants that are owned by Arab guys. Most Mexican food is so cookie-cutter now that it's hard to mess up.

But, yes, all the money is in alcohol. People "go eat Mexican" so that they can really get drunk on margaritas (or Corona, Modelo, and Dos Equis). For a lot of people, it seems classier or more socially acceptable than getting drunk in a bar.

It’s pretty common knowledge that many Mexican restaurants are laundering money.

You'll be happy to know that Maria's Restaurant in Denham is run by Chileans with no Mexican ties.

White women love chips, queso and Margaritas

I can’t speak for your specific restaurant, but I think people are confusing Mexican food with Tex-Mex

Tex-Mex is easy. Just throw a a bunch of cheese on some marinated beef with tortillas and call it a day.

I didn’t know what Mexican food was until I moved to Texas.

If Mexico did not exist, Mexican food would still rule them all because it is all delicioso.
