Signs of Good Food in Mexico
How you know if you're gonna get a kick-ass meal on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere in Mexico.
1. The structure that houses the "restaurant" is made of wood, corrugated tin, or plastic.
2. There is no handwritten menu.
3. No one speaks English.
4. Truck drivers hit the brakes for it.
5. They serve Nescafe.
6. Someone is hand-slapping some corn tortillas over an open fire.
7. The limes are actually orange.
8. The beans are whole.
9. The table clothes are tropical and bright.
10. The owners hug you when you leave.
And, of course...nothing cost more than a few dollars.
It is the only way to find good food. I have been devastated since arriving in LA...the WORST mex ever.

I have got to agree with you on this topic. Hole in the wall, out of the way usually good food can be found.
