Tex-Mex is a term for a type of American food which is used primarily in Texas and the Southwestern United States to describe a regional cuisine which blends food products available in the United States and the culinary creations of Mexican-Americans that are influenced by the cuisines of Mexico. A given Tex-Mex food may or may not be similar to Mexican cuisine, although it is common for all of these foods to be referred to as "Mexican food" in Texas, the United States and in some other countries. In many parts of the country outside of Texas this term is synonymous with Southwestern cuisine.

Complimentary (& accurate) review of this new romantic (Argentinian/Continental Spanish) restaurant in the Lower East Side. The city's popular weekly guide honors 1492 with CRITIC's PICK recognition for its tasty, authentic menu, excellent & friendly service and charming surroundings. I've sampled. Friends agree.The place is freakin' _good_. Do it.

Find cheap flights to Alicante Airport, the gateway to Benidorm, some refer to this as a 'home from home' from Britain for its tendencies to cater for everything British-from the food through to the beer! Fear not, Spanish delicacies are found in many restaurants also, should you want a more authentic dish!
