I like tex mex, and generally I can enjoy a meal at even average places. The one exception was this absurdly bad place in River Falls during training camp. Brutally bad. But I like places like On The Border, Chuy's, even pretty meh places like Cielito Lindo's in Springfield, MO.
However, I never feel a huge draw to go eat it when I want to eat out. If a bunch of yahoos who don't know any better want to go, I'll go, but I'd rather go to a nice Indian, Mediterranean or Ethiopian place any day. I'd rather hit up a chinese place, or a decent steakhouse like Saltgrass. I'd rather go to a pizza place, or a good burger place (not McDonalds). I love Spanish food, which is completely different and far superior to Tex-Mex (Madrid Meatballs FTW). I've never had REAL mexican food.
Basically, Tex Mex is fine, but I'm not running to get to it like I am other restaurants. Right now I'm craving indian buffet and I'm going to scarf some down on Sunday.
