Flyer: I speak Spanish and love Mexico. But also not a fan of the traditional rice/tortilla carby food. Tortilla factories also smell awful. Beans are fine in moderation, and the meat dishes are good.
That wouldn’t deter me from moving there, Mexicans are embracing sushi and Italian food, and to a smaller extent tapas and vegetarian and “New American.” They also have plenty of junkfood Chinese, but I avoid them in any country. Never seen a nice Chinese restaurant there.
About two miles past the old tourist downtown area in TJ, by the fancy Plaza Rio mall, is a newer area that feels like gaslamp with dozens of bars that focus on strong high end beers and fancy cocktails. I didn’t like it, too crowded and loud, but shows more Americanization of food and drink culture.
