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.

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.
