That what liberals see in Chinese restaurants over here isn’t necessarily what’s a part of the cuisine over there. - Dope

That is similar to my experience with Mexican Food. Up North, Mex was Taco bell or sometimes a restaurant might have a burrito on their otherwise American menu.
When my Mother first visited from Indiana, I took her to a great Mexican restaurant, one of my favorites, here in Houston. She didn't like it because they didn't have that sauce she liked so much, referring to those little packets that come with your meal at Taco bell.
Separate from that when I started traveling more to Mexico, away from the major tourist traps, I was expecting to get the Mex I was used to in Houston, just more authentic and better. Turned out Tex-Mex is a cuisine unto itself and native Mexican food is quite different and delicious. Never got used to an olive in my margarita but does it does grow on you.
