Mexican overall is pretty consistent, but Chinese is pretty hit or miss.

I'm partial to Italian and Japanese food.
I also like ham sammiches

I would say that almost any Latin American fare is high on the BNA family’s list. We regularly cycle through Mexican, Colombian, Argentinian, Salvadoran, and Brazilian restaurants. We’ll order $100 worth of frozen empanadas and those will be snacks/meals for a few weeks. I turned my daughter onto Mole and now she’s addicted. Moving to Denver, we’ve gotten a “New Mexican” flair added with the abundance of red and green chili.

When not Latin, then it’s a close race between Indian and Thai for 2nd place. We eat both regularly.

I couldn't possibly choose a favorite cuisine.

To what's been mentioned I would add Mediterranean / middle eastern (Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, Persian)

Also I would expand Thai to be south east Asian (Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese)

Plus eastern European

Irish food is my favorite - said no one ever.
If I'm picking the least amazing cuisine, I'm going with Iceland. Ireland, the UK and Germany would rank pretty low as well.

But since you've mentioned Irish and I think you are in Orlando, you should check out the Chicken Tikka Masala Pasty at Claddagh Cottage. It's delicious... Basically a pot pie with Tika Masala in it instead of beef stew.

The only way I can eat moles is dipped in an egg wash and fried, and you gotta cut that damned nose off.

Soooo... they all got together (without killing each other, because, hey, $$$$) and formed this "independent entity" that "certifies/validates" them for their individual country "authenticity", which is, of course, all Mexican, but with a validated certificate of authenticity? Like that? :lol:

I'd say you listed two things: "Mexican" and "Brazilian"... cuz yeah, "meat with a stop/serve me fukkin now! sign" is a clear differentiator for me! ;)

No dumbass, I did exhaustive research (i.e. I read the "About us" on their websites) and then had conversations with the owners to fact check their online "claims" for authenticity. My poker experience allows me to spot liars.

Now I suppose in your Carib-like world, a big group of Mexicans might have gotten together in a collusive effort and decided "Ok Jose, you are now Colombian and will open a "Colombian" restaurant - here is your backstory. Manuela, your new identify is Carlita, and you emigrated from San Salvador in 2002, and you will now start making papusas....". I think you might just be on to something! :D

My favorite local restaurant here is a South American restaurant. They have a famous dish from each shiit hole country down there. Very unique dishes, very not-Mexican.

But to be fair... the kids will only order their cheese quesadilla. :lmao2:
