I can sure relate to your experience, and have also learned to ignore my tendency to salivate at the mere sight of a "mexican food" sign. Usually I am hankering for Tex-Mex and will be cautious outside of south Texas where it originated. Even other parts of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona have different takes. What I have had in California approaches the worst I have had in Europe. That would have been in London, something containing the ubiquitous overcooked english peas. Of course, interior Mexico has all types of cuisines, and all are wonderful. Recently in Spain it occurred to me that their bland food could be improved by importing from their former colonies.

Anyway, salivating over my own visions of Mexican food, especially Tex Mex, in my head will remain there until I return home.
