not actually Mexican food.
If I had to pick I'd say Chipotle, although it's hard to beat Taco Bell at 2am after the bars close lol.I live in Texas, so tons of Mexican food. Tex-Mex everywhere of course, "real" Mexican lots of places too albeit you have to try a bit harder to find it. For tacos best bet is one of many Taco Trucks around the city.
This is an actual mexican taco:
If "taco and burrito" are all you know of Mexican food then you are missing out. Especially since the Tacos and Burritos at Taco Bell and Chipotle are basically boring versions of Tex Mex or California-Mex, rather than actual Mexican.
My actual favorite regional variation is New-Mexican. Hatch Chiles are magic.

Super popular! We have a large mexican and puerto rican population in my city (Columbus) so we have a lot of mexican food trucks and puerto rican restaturants here!
I just had birria tacos last night!
Taco Bell for weird fusion items (quasoclupa lol) and Chipotle for burritos!
Did you make your own taco sometimes?
Do you make tortilla by yourself?
-
sometimes but it's not as good as the trucks or restaurants!
Haven't made my own tortilla before!

Tortilla in picture looks cool..are they from supermarket or hand made? they baked it on flat top till charred and the surface popped up ..tempting.
What about Hatch Chiles in the 2nd pic? is that a restaurant or a type of chile?
That plate looks spicy tho..eat that with corn bread?

those are probably handmade tortillas. Usually for true mexican tacos they are dipped in a bit of oil and quickly cooked on a flat top. They stay soft though, not crispy. Although looking more closely at that pic those almost look like wheat flour tortillas, which would be unusual for mexican tacos. Normally corn. It might be white corn though.
Hatch Chile is a type of chile only grown in New Mexico, the Hatch region specifically.

It's ripe green form and Dry Red form are both used to make sauces. In New Mexico the most common question about Mexican food is "Red or Green", ie, which chili sauce do you want.
And yes, it can be very spicy. Most people would consider New Mexico sauces Medium-Hot to Hot. And yes in New Mexico they do sometimes serve cornbread with the food.
Most of what people call "Mexican" food in the US is actually a variation of Tex Mex. Crispy Tacos, Burritos, etc, covered in cheese and a sauce with a side of beans and rice is basically Tex Mex.

Mexican food isn't as popular in Canada compared to when I lived in the states. There are a decent amount of legit Mexican joints here though, just none that are really close to me. We've got a lot of burrito places though.

In my state, not really
There is some Latinos n Hispanics in my state
But I bet u in other states there is way more Latinos n Hispanics
But in my state not really
There is some Mexican food around here
Me, I like Mexican food, it slaps
Tbh Ion think Taco Bell or Chipotle are real Mexican food
But I like Taco Bell, it taste nice even tho it is prolly made from not good stuff

It's extremely popular.
Prior to the pandemic, I used to have it as often as at least once a week.
Neither Taco Bell nor Chipotle is authentic Mexican cuisine, but if I had to choose, I'd go for Chipotle because it's more nutritious. They both fall under the category of TexMex, which is basically Americanized Mexican cuisine specified for American taste.
Nothing beats authentic Mexican food from a taco truck or a taqueria, though. I miss that, especially the street-style tacos.

Did they put cornmeal or alike in corn tortilla's dough..i mean those yellowish tortilla
Are you saying Tex Mex has dominated main stream US Mexican food flavor before and rather than California? they both have hugh Mexican population ..
