Even the restaurants and food trucks run by & staffed by ethnic Mexicans? How does that work?

Mexican food somehow knows where the border is and it stops on the southern side?

New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Texas certainly have "authentic" and Mexican food, lots of it. If those states, why not Florida?

I agree that many places have a limited menu and the food is oftern "mild", but to make a blanket statement that "no place here that is authentic or Mexican" is not true. Another thing is I'm sure you haven't been to all Mexican restaurants even an hour drive.

Another version of the food-snob "You can't get real pizza outside NYC or Italy".
