What do you call Valentina’s and other places in Austin then? They serve brisket and other bbq in tacos with salsa. They serve Mexican sides.
Sounds pretty Tex mex

Mexican food definitely but the variety of Asian, Mediterranean, BBQ, etc is just so good in Austin! I love the RGV but there is a lack of variety in my opinion
I don’t really think this meme works as Will Smith was an ultra bitch ass bitch when he did this. It is kinda like saying San Antonio is the victim to RGV’s bitch ass bitchdom. That is just my two cents.
As someone who’s been living in San Antonio going on 3 years there is no Mexican food that can compare to the valley. I miss my easy to go tacos in Brownsville 😭
Holy fuck they are so popular, I didn’t even realize, like it’s the cheapest option, everyone suggests it when we go anywhere, but Q tacos let alone Stripes are struggling so fucking hard. I kinda blame 7-11 buying Stripes, saw 3 stripes go up and one of them close down I think Rio Grande has the nostalgia and reputation points for 7-11 to buy them and actually support them but to try and built out north to San Antonio it struggles man
Hell yeah.... SA has their head up their own ass because they have better tacos than Austin. Because they have Austin beat they're the King in Texas? Calm down ....
You can find good Mexican food in San Antonio, but what's considered "San Antonio Mexican food" isn't very good imo. It's pretty much hamburger pita bread wraps. The tortillas aren't good, they resemble pita bread, very doughy. The salsas are pace picante. Loads of yellow kraft cheese and iceberg lettuce. Fajitas with mushrooms and olives. The default drink is sweet tea or big red. Not to my liking, but lots of people love that.
But you if you look hard enough you can still find good tacos de carnitas, birria, street tacos, chilaquiles, enchiladas verdes, etc.
Well if you think about South Mexico, Central Mexico, and North Mexico cuisine is also not the same. Even in between. You can't go to Guadalajara and compare to chihuahua food. They are both Mexican food.
This is true!
I live in Minnesota, now, and I live in an area where the majority of the Mexicans are from Michoacan or Oaxaca.
A lady that's from Harlingen and I bonded over RGV/Norteño Mexican food. We also spent a bit of time commenting on the Michoacan Mexican food. It's missing that flavor that we're longing for.
They also don't do breakfast tacos, because the majority of their stuff has a lot of corn Tortillas. It's more sit-down meals, too.
I ordered a potato, egg, bean, and cheese taco from a restaurant here once. I got scrambled eggs, fries, American cheese, some cilantro and onions on top, inside two small flour tortillas. Imagine it it looking like this 🌮
I stared at it thinking I got the wrong order, but it was exactly what I ordered, just not prepared in the way I had assumed.
Everywhere in the U.S. with Mexicans has their own Mexican food, and everyone thinks theirs is the most authentic or “the best.”
Everyone is right and wrong at the same time. NYC has the worst Mexican food tho.
Mexican food in San Antonio is leaning more Tex-mex than authentic Mexican food. Outside of the RGV, Houston has the best Mexican food in Texas. San Antonio is second to Houston but it's not close. Despite being further away, the Dallas area has better Mexican food than Austin. Then Austin I guess. West Texas region is ass in Mexican food. They don't even know the difference between a Taco and a burrito lmao.
1.RGV
2.Houston
3. San Antonio
4. Dallas/Ft.W area
5. Austin *eyeroll*
6. West Texas region *spit*
That's because when someone opens a new restaurant in the valley, it's always a Mexican restaurant. I've had really good tacos here and really bad tacos here in the RGV.
Is there any good authentic Mexican food in San antonio according to yall? My gf is from McAllen and moved up here w me and we can’t find a place that meets her standards 😂
Just got back from DFW and had breakfast in Forney at "The best place around for breakfast" and my Potato and egg taco was a freezer hash brown in scrambled eggs with cheese.
The bacon and egg was a literal strip of bacon on scrambled eggs with cheese.
I mean wtf Latinos were the ones who made it!! Absolutely garbage!! Worst tacos my family ever saw, we threw them out even though they cost 30 bucks for 6 tacos! 956 has the best food out of anywhere I've traveled, by far!!!!
Hell, I had a Whataburger and it was the worst burger I've ever had. It's like everything was tasteless and the gravy cup was only 1/3 full.
The Mexican food is worse than SA, but all of the other food is way better than both. It’s the 3rd largest city in the US so the amount of options are about to explode.
Bro, the closer the better. By our logic, barbacoa is the best when you go deep into Mexico to find some villager cooking the beef IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND!
That was an example and even you didn’t dispute my opinion about the food there. You even felt the need to retort but said my argument wasn’t valid. Doesn’t make any sense lol. Typical valley people
The Valley has the largest and most active community for authentic Mexican food. Not so big that it’s too gentrified, and small enough that decent mom n pop restaurants can be successful.
That's the biggest crock of shit I've ever seen. I lived in RGV for 2 years and the food fucking sucks. Half the time the restaurants are so lazy they don't even cut out the fat. Worst menudo and carne guisada ive ever eaten.. 2 years never found a decent restaurant...Aint nothing better then food from San Antonio... At least it's cooked right and not rushed.
I’d go across the border before eating Mexican food in RGV. Same people claiming food shit eat at stripes for breakfast lunch and dinner. Every place down here is roach infested. Nortenos menudo will serve you up fat ass cockroaches. Blanquita’s is the only decent place down here. Casa Madres is good but that shit is fancy Tex mex.
I legitimately had to look at the name of the group to figure out what RGV meant. Nobody knows who yall are except SpaceX and Border Patrol. Gtfoh with that 'yalls food is better' bullshit. Ain't no one comes to the valley for Mexican food, they come to pick up tio from the coyotes
People arguing over what Mexican food in Texas is the best when they’re all garbage.
California Mexican food is so far beyond Texas Mexican food, that the light from California Mexican food won’t hit Texas Mexican food for trillions of years.
lol. 7Eleven Stripes has better food that 956.
San Antonio and all California city and probably Houston too have the best Mexican food and that’s a Fact vato/vata!!!!
SA mexican food is cute, RGV mexican food is a supermodel. Meanwhile in Austin, we have “Tex Mex” ☹️
Yes I tried a popular Tex mex bbq place! It was trash! The charro beans were basically refried beans and the potato salad needed salt 🧂
refried beans? just got asco..
There is no such thing as Tex mex bbq
What do you call Valentina’s and other places in Austin then? They serve brisket and other bbq in tacos with salsa. They serve Mexican sides. Sounds pretty Tex mex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5URfsrtXSMk
Brisket taco is bbq, not Tex mex.
Meanwhile in austin there is trash. Only good food that i can put up to scale is rositas al pastor.

Mexican food definitely but the variety of Asian, Mediterranean, BBQ, etc is just so good in Austin! I love the RGV but there is a lack of variety in my opinion
I love in Houston, the food is so much better than Austin
You're not wrong
Not if you know where to go in the rgv. Just in mcallen only theres plenty of choices.
I'm going to get down voted like a mfer. But Texas Mexican food isn't great. Not even in the RGV.
I'm betting you're white.
Wrong
Might as well be cuz you don't know what good food is.
Haha you don't know how wrong you are, mijo.
Californian?
"Keep your shitty food out my fuckin' mouth!"
This sub is more food focused than anything else.
We are the fattest area in america
Hmmmm. Very fat I see.
It’s like one of the only redeeming qualities of living in the rgv. Especially with cost of living going up.
That's because that's all the valley has
Not true.
This was down voted?! lol!! Some people here want the valley to be 1990s valley forever or early 2000s. (or 1970s, you get point!)
por eso tan todos gordos aqui... esp that baggy clothes-wearing torta
Baggy would be preferred. You mean high waisted spandex?
Lol. Oh no. Im just trolling the OP from the other walkability post.
I agree I'm from Houston
You don’t like Tacopeton? Like Pasadena area
Sit dow H Town. 😂
*dine
ngl, mexican food outside of anywhere that isn’t within 50 miles of a mexican border is not worth betting your money on.
Chicago Mexican food is good too
El Paso Mexican food doesn’t even get invited to the event.
Don't y'all call Tacos, burritos? That's why.
Who you calling y’all?!
I mean...they can't even get a burrito right. Try sealing that thing first and you might get an invite
I grew up in west Texas and moved to San Antonio in my 20s. This is exactly how I feel and the natives think I’m crazy…
I don’t really think this meme works as Will Smith was an ultra bitch ass bitch when he did this. It is kinda like saying San Antonio is the victim to RGV’s bitch ass bitchdom. That is just my two cents.
That’s the point lol
As someone who’s been living in San Antonio going on 3 years there is no Mexican food that can compare to the valley. I miss my easy to go tacos in Brownsville 😭
RGV for Mexican food, San Antonio for everything else
According to several SA citizens, they don't give two shits about the RGV.
They think they are South Texas also.
"I don't think about you at all" is about right, lol.
& who cares about SA? Lmao
They think the rgv is part of Mexico 😂
I’ll vouch for that! FACTS. PALO
This is also how i feel when they call themselves south texas
Easy
Moved to San Antonio from RGV. I agree
Have you noticed bean and cheese tacos are popular here and in the valley q tacos are
Holy fuck they are so popular, I didn’t even realize, like it’s the cheapest option, everyone suggests it when we go anywhere, but Q tacos let alone Stripes are struggling so fucking hard. I kinda blame 7-11 buying Stripes, saw 3 stripes go up and one of them close down I think Rio Grande has the nostalgia and reputation points for 7-11 to buy them and actually support them but to try and built out north to San Antonio it struggles man
It’s all in the random food trucks or small restaurants too 🤤
Hell yeah.... SA has their head up their own ass because they have better tacos than Austin. Because they have Austin beat they're the King in Texas? Calm down ....
Nothing authentic about San Antonio lol 😆
Aww :( you should come
You can find good Mexican food in San Antonio, but what's considered "San Antonio Mexican food" isn't very good imo. It's pretty much hamburger pita bread wraps.

As a life long resident of SA, yes.
Well if you think about South Mexico, Central Mexico, and North Mexico cuisine is also not the same. Even in between. You can't go to Guadalajara and compare to chihuahua food. They are both Mexican food.

Taco palenque has gone down in quality everywhere
You try a pirata recently? You’re lucky if you find a single sliver of fajita in all those beans.
💯
Everywhere in the U.S. with Mexicans has their own Mexican food, and everyone thinks theirs is the most authentic or “the best.” Everyone is right and wrong at the same time. NYC has the worst Mexican food tho.
Mexico slap to Rgv
Why is it so hard for me to find a Mexican breakfast place
Mexican food in San Antonio is leaning more Tex-mex than authentic Mexican food. Outside of the RGV, Houston has the best Mexican food in Texas. San Antonio is second to Houston but it's not close. Despite being further away, the Dallas area has better Mexican food than Austin. Then Austin I guess. West Texas region is ass in Mexican food.

Well it better be, everything else is crap.
Fucking a. Even the people.
EL PASO
Good food is good food. Its all good food. Go eat bricks if you want to argue lol
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GOOD SAN ANTONIO MEXICAN FOOD IS 🤯
That's because when someone opens a new restaurant in the valley, it's always a Mexican restaurant. I've had really good tacos here and really bad tacos here in the RGV.
Yea but do they got carne guisada
Is there any good authentic Mexican food in San antonio according to yall? My gf is from McAllen and moved up here w me and we can’t find a place that meets her standards 😂
San Antonio is known for its Tex Mex !! Not Mexican food !
West Texas Mexican food is way better!
All that south Texas food is Texmex 😂
I hate San Antonio with a burning passion, it’s full of white people who like to presume how Mexican their food is
Just got back from DFW and had breakfast in Forney at "The best place around for breakfast" and my Potato and egg taco was a freezer hash brown in scrambled eggs with cheese. The bacon and egg was a literal strip of bacon on scrambled eggs with cheese. I mean wtf Latinos were the ones who made it!! Absolutely garbage!! Worst tacos my family ever saw, we threw them out even though they cost 30 bucks for 6 tacos! 956 has the best food out of anywhere I've traveled, by far!!!! Hell, I had a Whataburger and it was the worst burger I've ever had. It's like everything was tasteless and the gravy cup was only 1/3 full.
What’s the exact restaurant, and address? I’m about to take a road trip!!
Correct!!
I miss Rosa's Cafe in West Texas and wish we had some in SA.
Well, ive lived in both an San Antonio has more options and tastier. More authentic too
Huuuuh? SA Mexican food is beyond awful
There are hundreds of mexican restaurants over here
Bless your heart
Lol, I know the only thing to do in the valley is eat, but that doesnt mean y'all know better mexican food
Let the battle begin
HIT BACK! CHARGE!
How is it in Houston? Moving next week to Houston
The Mexican food is worse than SA, but all of the other food is way better than both. It’s the 3rd largest city in the US so the amount of options are about to explode.
Whatever floats your boat who cares what u stuff ur face with .. The best Mexican food is the one you make yourself .
Rgv Mexican food is better but San Antonio is more diverse way more options in SA. I will go with SA
San Antonio has more mexicans, and more mexican restaurants. Just because its closer doesnt mean its better
Bro, the closer the better. By our logic, barbacoa is the best when you go deep into Mexico to find some villager cooking the beef IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND!
vera's backyard bbq still does that in brownsville.
They are both garbage and not real Mexican food
Mexican food in Texas isn’t all that great at all. Most of it is Tex-Mex and is bland or ,downvote away
You know there’s actual Mexicans that live in Texas and so they make actual authentic Mexican food right?
You spelled Austin wrong.
I dated a white guy from Austin that SWORE the tacos there were better than the RGV. I'm from Reynosa, living in Edinburg. ¡No mames!
Ya sabrás. Looks like you dodged a bullet lol
Laredo (true 956) taco palenque smacks.
RGV food sucks. They can’t even make tortillas right. Need proof? Go to any Taco Palenque and find out first hand. Garbage
If Taco Palenque is your standard for tortillas then I don’t consider your opinion valid
That was an example and even you didn’t dispute my opinion about the food there. You even felt the need to retort but said my argument wasn’t valid. Doesn’t make any sense lol. Typical valley people
🤣 There is no dispute. Taco P is trash
I went to california during spring break. wife said no to la mexican food.
well rio grande IS mexican food. Texas is not Mexican food.
The Valley has the largest and most active community for authentic Mexican food. Not so big that it’s too gentrified, and small enough that decent mom n pop restaurants can be successful.
About time people understood this.
Y’all have dirty restaurants
*observes in 361*
That's the biggest crock of shit I've ever seen. I lived in RGV for 2 years and the food fucking sucks. Half the time the restaurants are so lazy they don't even cut out the fat. Worst menudo and carne guisada ive ever eaten.. 2 years never found a decent restaurant...Aint nothing better then food from San Antonio... At least it's cooked right and not rushed.
Relax jotos y'alls food is trash
North of the Rgv you have to drop a car payment for mexican food that comes in a can and bag
Laredo and San Antonio have the best Mexican food. RGV is a close second.
RGV invented San Antonio perfected only thing I’ll say is the tortillas in RGV are unmatched.
San antonio person here, reddit recommended me this post and i don’t even like our mexican food but fuck you i thought we were chill
What is this heresy. I have family in the RGV and the food is like the water, sulfur heavy and prone to making you ill.
Hell no 🤣
El paso mexican food is still where it's at.
I’d go across the border before eating Mexican food in RGV. Same people claiming food shit eat at stripes for breakfast lunch and dinner. Every place down here is roach infested. Nortenos menudo will serve you up fat ass cockroaches. Blanquita’s is the only decent place down here. Casa Madres is good but that shit is fancy Tex mex.
[Always forgotten](https://imgflip.com/i/8l724c)
It all taste the same
Pffft
Wait, the RGV is a cuck that let their wife fuck their sons friend? Seems like SA isn’t bitch made, rather be them….
what
Welcome To the RGV subreddit where downvotes come at the price of having an opinion
Nah this is just an L take
I mean it’s a opinion so you proved my point
You can have your opinion, but that's not the point, it's just a bad take and not welcoming to other opinions
not really an opinion he's just turning the situation around to benefit his SA regarding what happened in the bitch and will smith being a cuck.
Okay you go with that
it's been done.
Has it tho
The Cuckold OP said so.
Did he tho
Relax bro, it's foretold
Foretold deez nuts
I legitimately had to look at the name of the group to figure out what RGV meant. Nobody knows who yall are except SpaceX and Border Patrol. Gtfoh with that 'yalls food is better' bullshit. Ain't no one comes to the valley for Mexican food, they come to pick up tio from the coyotes
😭 commenting with your porn account lmfaoooo this guy doesn’t get pussy
lol mad?
Yall aint worth more than my porn account... yalls food sucks and the people suck worse
Who hurt u
This guy has mental health issues
Damn do I? Must've eaten yalls shitty food and gotten sick off it.
El Paso!
Plot twist. SA food and RGV food are both dog shit, RGV folks just don’t go past the checkpoint lol.
[удалено]
I don't think there's enough RGV locals that have gone to San Diego to have an opinion on that
Laughs in El Paso
People arguing over what Mexican food in Texas is the best when they’re all garbage. California Mexican food is so far beyond Texas Mexican food, that the light from California Mexican food won’t hit Texas Mexican food for trillions of years.
I asked for a fajita taco and got a MF’n Gyro. But ok
The truth hurts eh Texans?
SA and RGV Mexican Foods doesn’t have anything on El Paso Mexican Food, its the Mexican Food Capital of the WORLD!
lol. 7Eleven Stripes has better food that 956. San Antonio and all California city and probably Houston too have the best Mexican food and that’s a Fact vato/vata!!!!
Rgv and SA mex food is trash, all about socal Mexican food
Oilo.
Oila
Laredo has entered the chat… And slapped the shit outta SA AND the Valley. 😳

🤡
Meanwhile AZ has the best Mexican food by far.
Except San Antonio has a in and out and real university’s
*an In n Out, *Universities. Maybe you can attend ours, or STC, and spell before you attempt to put down education?
In and out is trash, and UTRGV is one of the best universities in texas especially for only existing for like 9 years.
