By Melissa Scott


It is hard to find authentic and also very affordable restaurant food these days, especially with all the fusion foods out there. The internet is not much help either, for if you do Google authentic and affordable Mexican restaurant Houston, you will get a ton of results and quite a few self serving and even biased reviews. In this case then the best judge of what makes any food authentic and affordable should be you.

It is a good move to start from places that are closer to you and slowly go out further. Remember that you are going to make your own reviews so that you do not depend too much on the internet and websites, some which are paid for by the restaurants themselves. Basically you will make an authentic review, free of any third party influence, given some key criteria that are essential.

First on your review checklist will be the hygiene and cleanliness of the establishment. You should not risking going to the hospital and endangering your health for the sake of food, no matter how affordable and tasty it may be. Some will say that if the food is a bit dirty, then it will be having a much better taste, especially if it is Mexican food. Give no credence to this silly adage and do not put yourself at risk. Always choose an establishment that has been cleared by either the Food and Drug Administration or local and state health authorities.

Authenticity is also something that you want to look into next and how true it is to the original culture that it represents. In essence, the authenticity of a restaurant will boil down to how it acquires its food materials. A real deal Mexican food outfit will always make their own ingredients and such kike tortillas and anything else that is needed. Never will a real Mexican food place go for off the shelf items and serve it to their patrons.

Once you do visit the establishments around or near you, take a quick look and inspect the kind of patrons that particular establishment has. If it has quite a number of Hispanic and people of Hispanic descent patronizing it, then you know the place and taste is as real as it gets. Put on top of this that the kitchen is really manned by Mexicans and not culinary school students and graduates, then you know you would have come to the right place.

Affordability should also be something to look at into as well. Mexican food is basically a very altruistic food, in that it was created to feed as many people as possible. And in places south of the border, this kind of food does not claim to be an expensive gourmet meal. One of the hallmarks of Mexican food is that it is affordable.

You should also look for big servings. People south of the border also love to have big servings at a good price, and that does not change. A good gauge for the servings that you get should be that it should be almost good enough for two people and will be able to make you skip the next meal on your schedule.

This article has thus shown you what to look for in affordable and also authentic Mexican food the next time that you are around Houston and outlying areas. Remember to always use the guide and tips in this article and you cannot go wrong.
