Mexican Food in Michigan....

Not that Colin and I were expecting the Mexican food in Michigan to be great. We actually supposed most of it to pretty terrible. However, on the recommendation of some Baylor friends who live in East Lansing we decided to try a restaurant here in town called Cancun. I think we were just a little homesick and craving some jalapenos, so when we walked into the restaurant and saw it's brightly colored booths with Corona flags on the wall, we decided it looked promising and that it sort of reminded us of a restaurant in Waco. Then, we opened the menu. What we found was a guide in the back explaining to us how to pronounce the names of Mexican dishes, such as nachos sounding like na-choz, and we knew that we were far from home. Needless to say, the food did not measure up to our expectations; however, we did get this funny picture of the pronunciation guide/food descriptions from the menu. I guess the only Mexican food we will be eating up here is the food that we make ourselves--luckily Colin is half Mexican and knows how to make some really good enchiladas!!

  2. I feel your pain. In Boston, I ordered a tamale from a taqueria, and I had to eat it like a baked potato! I did find some good Mexican food in Providence, however, but it was in the Mexican ghetto.
