  1. Where Did Tex-Mex Cuisine Come From? Tex-Mex food is rightfully one of Texas’ biggest sources of pride. Learn about the origins of Tex-Mex and how it became uniquely Texas.  Texas is an excellent location to live (and to buy a home)! One important cause for this is our Tex-Mex cuisine. It is a source of pride for Texas, but also of contention for some. If you ask several Texans where to locate the best Tex-Mex food, you will get a variety of answers. However, if you are in Hong Kong and then you must visit to the La Vista to have the best Mexican Cuisine. 

  2. Understanding Tex-Mex  It is difficult to pin down Tex-Mex food. It might be easiest to describe it as Mexican food that you would not encounter in most parts of Mexico. Consider tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, chalupas, flautas, burritos, nachos, and so on.  In any case, Mexican cuisine does not exist. Mexico is a large, diverse country with many unique culinary traditions from places like Oaxaca, the Yucatan Peninsula, and Jalisco. Different areas combine foods and cooking techniques from the Aztecs and other Indian nations with those of the Spanish and their descendants. 

  3. Where did Tex-Mex cuisine originate?  In the nineteenth century, San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley saw the birth of Tex-Mex. Northern Mexican Norteo cooking customs were mixed with foods from Texan rancher culture. While some Tex-Mex cultural elements, such as mariachis and tequila, originate in Jalisco, the food itself has origins in both Mexico and Texas. 

  4. Where did the term “Tex-Mex” Originate from The first use of the word “TexMex,” without the hyphen, referred to the Texas and Mexican Railroad, which was chartered in 1875. By making transportation simpler, the railroad aided in the creation and spread of Tex-Mex food.  Despite the efforts of numerous abuelas, chilli queens, and chefs on both sides of the border, it was an English cookbook author who gave Tex-Mex food its name. Diana Kennedy’s 1972 book The Cuisines of Mexico distinguished between Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines.
