Old ElPaso makes horrible salsa. Had what they consider their spiciest salsa, but at first taste I realized that I have had water that was spicier.
Take note.

you are a little wrong...there is a large asian population...large hispanic population...large middle eastern population...and a huge hippy population...and a huge transplant population...quite a diverse crowd here...I rarely meet another native Californian...but when you see us...we're all blond and we all surf and drink Sunkist orange soda...

OK - here's the deal. I have only been to Tahoe in CA. I made up the Chinese thing to be funny. I realize now that diversity is nothing to joke about there. You bitches still got nothing on our hot sauces. :eviltongu
I work in a town with FOURTEEN Mexican restaurants for a population of ~50,000 people. That's not counting the Taco Bell, or all the donut and kolache shops that ALSO sell tacos, or all the little stop'n'rob's that ALSO sell tacos, or the roach-coaches (those suckers are EVERYWHERE). Here, if you don't like the salsa, walk out and go next door or across the street to another Mexican joint. Out of the 14 Mexican shops I only eat at 4, 'cuz the other 10 are just less savory variations.loco-gringo said:
I was reviewing what I had eaten a few weeks ago and realized I had eaten some sort of taco FIVE DAYS IN A ROW. Fresh salsa is awesome, but I have 2 kids and 1.5 jobs, so it's a low priority. I buy Pace by the gallon, and my neighborhood grocery store sells good fresh pico. My frig at home has sauces from TX to Belize. There are at least 3 different bottles of hot sauce in this office.
I was w/a Mexican-American coworker in Austin a while back and we went to a highly-regarded (magazine reviews, etc) Mexican place downtown. She bit into a chip loaded w/"salsa" then laughed, "Dude, THIS is Ro-Tel." I tried it. . . she was right. I dunno how (or if) they survived in ATX serving that. That town is covered w/good Mexican joints.

There are tons of them. Temple is 55,000 and there are like 14 here too. 5 chinese joints as well. One steak house and the cheapest beef is $35 at night. There is one just out of town that is better and cheaper. I have good and bad. I like pace OK. My mother in law tries to make this strawberry stuff and I just can't buy into that. I don't like any salsa that is heated. yuck.
fredericksburg has a couple mexican restaurants that are baaaaaaaadass, and cheap. a friend of mine just opened up a place called Bejas, which is sort of SW'ern dishes with a "baja" twist. i guess. i don't know...but anyway, they have a special salsa that has a citrus kick. it's muy bueno.
