Tex-Mex
Tex-Mex is truly the best of two worlds. Rich with Mexican flavors and ingredients, teamed with Texas flair, Tex-Mex is a must-try in the Lone Star State. In fact, some of the dishes you won't find anywhere in Mexico. Or if you do, they'll look entirely different.
Their tastes and textures blend perfectly with the beefs, sauces, cheeses, and corn or flour tortillas used in almost every recipe. And most dishes include the staple sides of rice and beans. You can get great Tex-Mex all over the state, but get closer to the border and the South Texas Plains for what is considered to be the best. Be sure to try Mi Tierra in San Antonio or Guero's in Austin—you won’t be disappointed.
