We're going out for some Tex-Mex food tonight in San Antonio, so bring your Pepto-Bismol.

Tex-Mex

Food. It's food people. Kickass Mexican food, with a Texas twist. Can be found at places such as El Chico's.

The difference between Tex-Mex and (authentic) Mexican food, is that Tex-Mex has more flavor.

She didn't like the bland enchiladas at Los Rojo's, but the ones at the new Tex-Mex place had a lot of zip.

Tex-Mex

Tex-Mex is used commonly to to define male white/european together in couples with non-white hispanics, hence the name, "Tex-Mex", coming from Texas-Mexico. It's less commonly used in male hispanic/female white.

Did you hear about the new Tex-Mex couple that moved in?

The Tex-Mex is an ever growing group of interracial couples.
