[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be clear, I wrote Mexican food, not Tex-Mex food. Maybe you don't know the difference? And NC's Latino population is primarily from Mexico, not Central America. One of my closest family friends lives in NC and we have had to make trips to Charlotte to get cooking supplies we needed to make something when it was too late to have it shipped by our families in Texas.

"Among all North Carolina Hispanic or Latino residents, including those born in the United States, 56% identify Mexican as their primary ancestry; 12% identify as Puerto Rican; and another 21% are of a Central American background like Salvadoran, Honduran, and Guatemalan." https://www.ncdemography.org/2021/02/05/north-carolinas-hispanic-community-2020-snapshot/[/quote]

I do know the difference.  Which is why a kid from Texas is not going to find the food they're missing in Charlotte.  If the kid is from Beaumont, she's not going to be missing mole. (I still guessing the vast majority of the cheaper restaurants are owned by Salvadorans.  It's a thing, although I can't really tell you why.)

This is a dumb conversation, anyway, as a low income kid on scholarship isn't going to be driving from Davidson to Charlotte on the regular to eat out at an "authentic Mexican" restaurant, anyway. If you ever were actually a poor kid in college, you've certainly forgotten what it's like. [/quote]
