Food Friday #3 - Best Mexican

Growing up in the Midwest, about the only Mexican food I was exposed to was an occasional taco served up by Mom at home.

Then Taco Bell came to Carbondale and my Mexican food experience expanded slightly.

THEN I move to West Texas...Odessa to be specific. Mexican food quickly became a regular part of my diet and a wonderful addition.

Restuarants in Odessa that I liked were La Bodega, Casa Ole, and Rosa's Cafe.

Later, living in Fort Worth, my favorites were La Fiesta, Joe T Garcia's (pictured above), and Mercado Juarez.

Now, locally, the best I've found is La Nopalera.

But Texas had the most choices and the best of all the places I've lived.
