Trying to deal with Blogger today has led me to the conclusion that I have this. What the fuck, man? I have all these clever and witty things to say on my internet friends’ blogs and Blogger won’t let me!
Pardon me for a moment. I think I’m going to get that $1,359 worth of property damage out of the way now…
Alright, I feel better. I’m gonna need new furniture, but I’ve been thinking about Japanese style living anyway.
Okay, on a more serious note, if you have Myspace, feel free to give this guy a hard time. He’s an ass. I don’t know him personally, but he started up a flirtation with a friend of mine. He started to freak her out, so she rebuffed him. Yikes. He turned into Psychoman and deserves all the scorn he can get.
Motley Crue, take it away.
You know what I want? I want a beef and bean burrito smothered in the hottest green chili this side of NM, with pork chunks and lots of lettuce and diced tomatoes. Just heaped with shredded cheese.
But there is no way I’m getting one of those in my neighborhood. No, all the restaurants around here don’t serve that kind of stuff. Smothered burritos? Sorry, buddy, it’s all Chipotle style, lots of cilantro and onions. I like that stuff --sometimes-- but I want some green chili dammit!

No authentic Mexican restaurants in your 'hood?
West Saint Paul is basically little Mexico, lots of authentic food and shady tequila bars.
"Shady tequila bar". Is there any other kind of tequila bar?
J, if you ever visit New York go to Mexicana Mama. The best Mexican food ever.
In town, there are several...but in my immediate vicinity? No. I think this stuff is even more authentic than the stuff I'm used to, but I'm not a big fan of it. Green chili? That's not green chili! That's salsa!
There's a place up in Thornton (about twenty minutes away) I was thinking of called Santiago's. When I worked up there, it was easy to stop by for lunch. Now...it's a little out of the way.
Mexicana Mama...I'll keep that one in mind. Which borough is it in?
Cat, traditional Mexican ain't what James is lookin' for - what he's describing is New Mexican. For all their wonderful cuisine, old Mexicans don't do green chile (with an "e" if they are worth their salt in authenticity).
There's a few Santiagos down closer to you James - one on Santa Fe, another on 38th in the Highlands. However, I'd recommend Little Anita's on Colfax over Santiago's anyday. That stuff is truly authentic.

It's in Manhattan - West Village. I wouldn't send you into the outer boroughs. (Except for the Zoo, of course.)
Go to La Cueva on Colfax by the old Fox theater!
OMG! I have been to Mexicana Mama. The food is ok. About as close as you will get to what us Coloradoans expect as Mex food.
NYC Mex food is more niche-y.
STDogs - (STD, just didn't sound good)
I think it depends on the region of Mexico. There's a place near my house that does Green Chile and lots of seafood. I believe they are from near Mexico City.
"NYC Mex food is more niche-y."
Don't you mean?
"NYC Mex food is more Nietzsche."
Dogslave - I didn't know about those locations...I remember when there were only up in Ft. Lupton. It's good to see they're expanding southward. Still, those aren't exactly in the neighborhood either.
La Cueva, though, as Barn mentioned, isn't that far. I went there and really liked their salsa, but their chili (oops, I mean, chile) didn't excite me. It wasn't hot enough to make you cry, for one, and I don't think it had any pork in it. No puerco? No quiero. I should give them another shot.
Considering I put them in my book.
Coolcat - is it green chile or tomatillo sauce? I often find that an old Mexican place will call their green tomatillo sauce green chile. Still good, but not the same thing.
