The best Tex-Mex

Texans, like most Americans, are quite familiar with Tex-Mex dishes but hazier on authentic Mexican fare (To be fair, many restaurants offer dishes of both varieties, so it is difficult to label certain restaurants as one or the other.). Ask a group of Texans about the best queso in town, and you’re sure to ignite a vociferous debate. But ask that same group about queso flameado (a favorite authentic Mexican dish), and you’ll probably get some blank stares. Ask an American about quesadillas? No problem. But cochinita pibil (another delicious Mexican dish)? Say what?
