Now of course they are ... in England or Australia? I was amused to find one in Sliema, Malta, across the street from a TGI Friday's. Just the other day I drove past my favourite Mexican restaurant and discovered that it had closed. There were a couple of Mexican restaurants in this city (Newcastle, NSW) for quite a while, but they seem to have gone out of fashion. The very best Mexican food I've ever had was in some nameless little town somewhere in the vegetable-growing wastes of Northern California. I stumbled across it by accident. The very worst was in Houston, Texas. (In several restaurants, because my hosts...http://www.englishforums.com/English/CilantroOrCoriander/13/lrxqn/Post.htm#925892Tue, 01 Jun 2004 16:43:52 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:925892spehro pefhanyWhen we lived in Boston in the early '60s a ... in Sliema, Malta, across the street from a TGI Friday's.

You're probably about right on the date. My mother spent her teen years in El Paso, her family having moved there when her father got tuberculosis. She always had a fondness for Mexican food but in the 1940s it couldn't be found in New Orleans, which isn't that far from Texas. Occasionally a Mexican restaurant would open, and we would go, but then it wouldn't last. I was really introduced to Mexican food when I lived in Dallas and then Phoenix in the late '50s.
