Choose one - Chinese or Mexican food (American for both)

[DCAllAfrican]

Pretty obvious it's more non-Latinos saying Mexican food than non-asian saying chinese

I thought of this and I wonder how true this is.

I had Panda Express once and all that **** was dry af.

Mall food court Chinese > Panda Express.

Panda Express IS Mall Food Court Chinese food, though. It just has a higher profile

In Houston, I think I've only seen one in The Galleria. There are a bunch of stand alone stores here though.

I have seen Stand Alone Pandas, but I still call them Mall Court Food and they forever will be Mall Court Food

Makes sense cause that's what Panda Express started as.

It's a fast food version of the founder's original restaurant.

There’s a bunch of stand alone Pandas in FL

Authentic Chinese food is vastly better than Mexican.

Dim Sum alone>>>>

Although I love my carne asada...

 

[SplinterMatic319]

Hot take

Authenticity is overrated

Pull Up

Bout to have some messican food because of this thread.
Torta de milanesa sounds good right about now.

I would keep “American” Chinese Food.

I hate “American” Mexican food.

Panda express isnt BAD

The fried rice is garbage. Other than that, I cant say bad.

Moved out to OK from PNW 3 years ago, gotta say never had so much latino food in my life. I love asian food (im asian myself) grew up on all styles of asian food, thai laarb papaya salad to Vietnamese pho duck blood, Chinese dim sum, chicken, feet all that. But you could never go wrong with latino food, tacos and the tortas blow the Vietnamese bun mé out the water (im sorry) with their fresh buns. They have a latino market out here and i grab 3lbs of fresh marinated chicken meat every week for meal prep, always good!. Saracha with molé game over.

Latino food- gets the point of hunger and also hits the spot with spicy
Chinese- hits the spot with rich taste and enjoyment of what your eating

Not really a big loss either way for me.

Guess I'd go with Mexican food given up to now I've eaten more Chinese food in my lifetime.

Plus my poor struggle days as a kid are behind me. No real reason to eat Chinese food lile that. Haven't had a craving for it in years.

The "American" version stipulation is a bit of a swerve though. I'm pretty sure the American Mexican and Chinese food in NYV and Cali are vastly superior to everywhere else, especially in regions that don't have a large Latino or Chinese presence. Texas for Mexican food is a clear exception.
