I’ve always been told that what we consider “Mexican food” in the west is actually bastardised TexMex - what food is actually traditionally Mexican?

I'm Mexican and I'll be honest, I prefer a lot of the bastardized western versions of dishes more than the traditional Mexican food. Tacos and Tamales are big exceptions tho and there isn't nearly enough cilantro on everything, spices are a real weakpoint of TexMex in general.

Nah, I'm from New Mexico, probably explains my bias
