Steaming combination platters of beef tacos and guacamole-topped chicken flautas cover the tables. For $5.55, the No. 16 was paralyzing — three pork tamales steamed in cornhusks dripped with gravy and cheese. You want to take a nap after lunch.

H-Town
This article in the New York Times has made me homesick. A favorite quote (the writer is describing a Houston Tex-Mex restaurant named El Jardin):

That article made me homesick, too.
But I have to say, my neighborhood in Brooklyn has several Mexican restaurants that I like quite a bit. Nobody here does refried beans quite like Tex-Mex, and I have other qualms, but I don't lack for good Mexican food.
Come on.

Um, Mexicans live here, too, Dezmond. It's New York.
Not real Mexicans. We have the real Mexicans.

You must be joking:
you don't know a thing about it.
You got no problem.
I'd stay right there if I were you.
I got it harder.
You couldn't dream how hard I got it.
Stay out of my shoes if you know what's good for you.
The heat is stifling, burning me up from the inside.
The sweat is coming through each and every pore.
I don't wanna be here no more.
