Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

    There’s a Mexican place that opened very close to me, and I’ve been a bit bewildered by the general lack of flavor in their stuff. Examples would be their barbacoa, birria, pastor, chicken tinga, and carnitas. Funnily-enough, they load up the spices in their ground beef, so that’s most usually my protein filling. 😕

    I really don’t know quite what to say in trying to suggest to a Oaxacan-style restaurant that their meats need more spices…

        Hablo bastante castellano, pero ese no era la problema.

        The founders spoke perfectly fine English, but at least one of them seemed sensitive about the issue, so I didn’t pursue.
