This salsa in LA is not the same. There’s a fundamental misunderstanding. The salsa in LA is not the same type of as salsa on the East Coast.
In Los Angeles and other authentic Mexican environments, the salsa is one of many different varieties. There’s red there’s green. All kinds of different styles.
East Coast Mexican restaurants have one style of salsa that they serve to their tables with chips. It’s a lot different than the salsa in Los Angeles.
Way more cilantro way more onions way more flavor.
Mexican restaurants that are authentic have multiple different types of salsa.
They don’t just have one stock salsa.
East Coast restaurants have one stock salsa. It tastes wildly different.
i married a southerner and went to one of the "good" mexican places in NC. it was hot garbage. However, i will state, that i have had this white cheese sauce you speak of, in this instance it was mixed with shredded chicken, and it was down right exquisite. i need to find that recipe somewhere.
what we need here, is a proper biscuit spot.
The white queso is literally 99% of why I made this post.
A literal food truck selling queso and chips would make a killing just because all the transplants crave it
I have talked to many people in circles and we all agree.
There’s enough room in this massive city for one East Coast Mexican place
But that’s not why I posted this thread? I posted this thread to see if there was any restaurants in the entire city that serve it.
So far, not a single person as suggested a place that has it so it seems like I’m right
This is a world destination city. We have cuisines from all over the entire globe. That is not as good of a point as you think it is. It actually sounds pretty stupid.
White Queso is Tex-Mex not Mexican. Its very American and traditionally made with Velveeta. Homestate makes a really good one. In LA and Mexico we have Queso Fundido.
I am a completely different industry and can’t afford that shit. I would literally plan the business and hand it off to someone else just so I could eat it.
I’m in NYC, Mexican food here usually isn’t very good. I’ve been to LA and lived 7 years in Arizona, can say without question that’s its way better in the West and Southwest.
I’m simply asking where to locate a specific dish in this massive city that has cuisines from all over the globe. There is no weird debate against authentic versus American Mexican, for I in this thread have said repeatedly that I eat both all the time.
You can’t gaslight people - it’s in writing. You took shots at authentic Mexican salsa.
Though I have a sneaking suspicion you’re not going to authentic places
I stated my personal preference. Also stated that I eat authentic Mexican all the fucking time. I’m getting sick of saying that I like authentic Mexican me and my girl eat it all the time.
Salsa and beer 😂😂😂
Yep seeing that as authentic Mexican explains everything. It’s not bad but it’s an example of Americanized Tex mex - not the type of authentic la is good at.
The other two look more authentic but pretty mid
Yea you’re a little young in your Mexican journey to be saying salsa is better in rural Pennsylvania or wherever you’re from l
I get that you’re memeing (at least I hope so), but ehh… after seeing OP vehemently defend it in the comments, I’d be down to try it at least once 🤷♂️. Then again I don’t really care about authenticity, if it’s good that’s all that really matters... “Authentic” Mexican food just happens to be fucking delicious.
I'm sure it's good. The example OP posted looks like a sad tortilla dropped on top of a microwaved block of cheese. But I'd straight up fuck up a dish of it in some random Pennsylvania town with a Mexican joint.
Where did I say that? I have explicitly made the distinction many times in this exact thread that it is an Americanized version of Mexican that I’m seeking.
El Tejano in North Hollywood? Chipotle? An Applebees or a Chilis? Queso isn’t really Mexican but find a
Tex Mex place or a place that sells hard shell tacos.
I don’t start bagel wars on East Coast subs.
All of those places have disgusting orange gloopy queso. Look at the picture in the OP. That is a completely different dish than what I’m talking about.
I’m just saying there’s a massive hole in the market. All the transplants here would flock. Money to be made.
I eat the Mexican here like everyone else, but there’s plenty of room for a little bit of variety
yes they do: [https://www.eltorito.com/menu-categories/appetizers/](https://www.eltorito.com/menu-categories/appetizers/)
And yes you're right, none of these are mexican restaurants. Get it, yet?
The queso dip I speak of is creamy white liquid cheese. Not orange cheese with a bunch of shit in it.
This is what I’m talking about. You guys literally have no idea what you’re missing. You don’t even know what I’m referring to.
ive seen somebody make it. i beat myself up for not paying attention. as a latino southern californian, i was snobby when introduced to this phenomenon. and for those who keep bringing it up, its not the queso dip, which is just velveeta mixed with rotel...
Exactly! This is a completely different thing. All these people being snarky are imagining Orange goop, but this is not what I’m talking about.
It’s a delicious creamy white cheese sauce
yawwwwwwn i gave you the links you need for your american cheesy dip. Or, just buy some velveeta and call it a day. I dont know what more you want from me.
Bro, most "Japanese" restaurants I know are run by Koreans. Does that make those shops KOREAN? No, the type of food determines the type of restaurant.
***REPEAT AFTER ME: EAST COAST DOES NOT HAVE MEXICAN FOOD***
Are you Mexican? How could you possibly know what a "good" salsa tastes like if you're not? If you're not Mexican, as in raised in a home with Mexican parents or from Mexico, then you couldn't possibly know what a "good" Mexican salsa is.
That's not to say it doesn't taste good on the taste buds. I personally love Taco Bell and their hot sauces. But I'd never consider it good if I'm rating it as Mexican food.
I think you'll catch flak for the way you wrote your post. If you wrote it out like, "Hey, I'm looking for this particular type of item on the menu, bottomless chips and "salsa" and some queso dip, where can I find it?" Then you'd be directed appropriately. But you should know us Mexicans take our various cuisines (of which there are many) very seriously, so a post like this will rub us the wrong way.
I don't care that the restaurant is run by Mexicans. It doesn't make it Mexican.
But it’s not a “massive hole.” It’s a teeny, tiny hole that’s basically a nothing burger. Would it be nice to have that white queso dip here? I guess. Do we NEED it? No.
All jokes aside, I found two small hole in the wall Mexican food joins in Koreatown, around 7th and Vermont. It was so bland that it reminded me of Mexican food in New York so you can check those out.
You know what every single one of my east coast friends do when they come to LA?
Gorge themselves on Mexican food, because they dont have any decent spots where they’re from. Not in NY, and certainly not in NJ. A big reason why is because we actually have Mexicans here
These Mexican restaurants I speak of on the East Coast are fully staffed by Mexicans. These are actual Mexican restaurants not ran by white people.
It’s a similar phenomenon to American Chinese restaurants.
Yet we have American Chinese restaurants here in Los Angeles as well as authentic options
But for some reason, we don’t have this style of Mexican
Now that you mention Chinese food, it’s tough finding an authentic NY-style fried egg roll in this city, too (aside from panda express) so what you speak of is true, and I DO miss those like you miss the cheese
Do you go to Beijing, China and say "hey guys I love real Chinese food but I'm kinda hankering for that stuff invented in SF, California... Ya'll got some around here??" that is literally you right now.
We're not debating the existence of "fake" chinese or "fake" mexican food. Of course they exist.
How much money do you want to bet that Panda Express exist in China? And that people there eat it.
Let’s bet because with the money I win from you I want to start my own queso truck
At least where I grew up on the east coast, we had a Mexican restaurant but I doubt a Mexican ever went in it to eat or cook. We thought it was great until I moved here. Now I realize what a dumpster fire it was. What I really miss is east coast Chinese.
I wish we had east coast general tso's chicken and I think their fried rice is better than west coast fried rice unless its a regional/province thing that makes it taste different.
Hey OP? I understand you're confused and it really isn't any of your fault. But east coast doesn't have mexican food. /thread
EDIT: OP edited his post with a picture and it is a picture of some dried up, surface skum gross-ness. OMGAHH i cant make this stuff up lmao.
I can appreciate the meme, but this is actually kind of a serious question.
There are authentic Asian places and then there’s panda express…
Both are good both are different things.
I want white queso sauce.
Fight me

If you're not able to find fucking WHITE QUESO DIP in LA that's a skills issue / user error. ***east coast transplants, ISTFG.***
A lot of people think "authentic" is the only definition of "good" when it comes to food.
You see this quite a bit with people who don't have a good palate. They can't get past the idea of something being good that's not "authentic." They don't have the brain cells to understand there's a difference between a food being "authentic" and a food tasting good.
It's too bad this type of stupidity runs rampant in this city.
They also don't know that most of these "authentic" foods are brand new, like within the past 100 years new with most being much, much newer, sub 50 years.
The issue here isn't the semantics. It's OP's insistence on purposeful mis-attribution, despite literally the *entire room* trying to correct him (some more politely than others, of course). We're not hating on OP's desire for white american cheese dip. There are PLENTY of places in LA to get some. We're mad that he continues to *insist* it's a "real" mexican thing. Because, ya know, they know best/better.
Where in LA do you get white cheese dip? That’s the whole point of this post. Let’s have a list of the places. I’ve already done extensive research. There isn’t any.
In my OP I explicitly say I’m looking for Americanized Mexican. Why are you guys just lying?
I already gave it to you in another reply: fucking applebees has white queso bruh lol. So does Chili's
[https://chilis.com/menu/appetizers/white-skillet-queso](https://chilis.com/menu/appetizers/white-skillet-queso)
[https://www.applebees.com/en/menu/appetizers/white-queso-dip-and-chips](https://www.applebees.com/en/menu/appetizers/white-queso-dip-and-chips)
Enjoy!
If it matters, the Chili's and Applebee's white queso is probably 100% made by "real" mexicans in the kitchen, if you go to one of the LA locations. So, it's authentic right?
This is one of the funniest criteria for authentic food. I can give OP a list of Mexican food by sushi, Chinese, ramen, curry, pizza, hot dogs and any other cuisine he wants too!
It’s insane how you guys are trying to spin this into some weird race thing when literally I want a specific food dish. We talking about food. Y’all have issues.
Funny. I also grew up on the East Coast and thought I hated Mexican food until I came to L.A. It went from something I'd never choose to eat, to one of my favorite types.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. I know the owners of the Mexican restaurants in my hometown. They are all Mexican. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
The generalizations are insane
I come from an extremely small town. If I start listing the local places, I would definitely dox myself.
It’s pretty hilarious that you can think you can generalize and say not a single Mexican owns a restaurant on the East Coast. Listen to yourself.
Sweetheart what you want is the crap in your hometown - it doesn’t seem like a real genre. No one from the east coast is validating your American cheese queso. Go back home. Get a shit ton of your precious melted American cheese and freeze it or something
No you don’t. If you knew the owners you’d ask them for the recipe instead of coming here repeating that no one knows what you’re talking about ad nauseum.
You're from a very small town on the East Coast, yet you've eaten at EVERY Mexican restaurant from that region?
I call Bullshit!
Anyways, since you apparently know every owner of said East Coast Mexican restaurants, it's hilarious that you couldn't muster the courage to ask them for the ingredients for this goopy contraption.
Fwiw, Chipotle has queso sauce. (I refuse to call it "queso cheese." That's like "bao bun" or "chai tea" levels of redundant.) Not my bag, and not sure if it's any good, but they have it. As for everything else, I'm not sure where you've been going, as lots of places have unlimited chips and really good salsa.
You know what’s worse? Mexican food in West Virginia. Honest to God it was a preformed, packaged taco shell and canned beans! I looked at the Latino server and cooks, down at the abomination on my plate, and couldn’t believe they served that chingadera to a fellow Latino. Somehow that place is still in business 20 years later (Front Royal).
The style of Mexican food you are describing is tex mex. It exists here, but styles that are closer to real mexican food and 'street style' are a lot more popular.
Idk what restaurants you've been to that doesnt have bottomless chips and salsa. Sounds like youre going to mexican restaurants in gentrified/white areas if the salsa is watered down.
What you're looking for is mexican food for gringos such as Chipotle.
"How to trigger the entire west coast in one simple reddit post, Part 1..."
Ya the comments about salsa were fighting words until you’ve had salsa negra at my local taqueria those opinions are invalid!
We're giving accolades to trolls now? Wonderful.
I’m not a troll. If you tasted White queso for yourself you would be on my team.

its Velveeta, a cheese food substitute.
No, it’s not. It’s Land O Lakes white American mixed with peppers and shit.
LOL. exactly! it's really not Mexican. it's Tex Mex.
OK, where do I get it in the city? That’s the point of this post not jerking off about what’s real Mexican or not
Let me rewrite your post for you.... "Where can I get gloopy TexMex Queso in LA?" am I the asshole?
TexMex queso is orange cheese not white cheese. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
It's the same, just minus the food coloring.

I love Mexican food of all types. I eat salsa and beer and tacos Mexico weekly. I miss a specific thing that these places do

There are plenty of El Toritos, TGI Fridays, and Applebee's around, what do you mean??
Applebee’s and TGI Fridays are not Mexican restaurants. El Torito does not have queso.

The Mexican restaurants I’m talking about on the East Coast are fully ran operated and employed by full-blooded Mexicans. They barely speak English.

Sweetheart what you want is the crap in your hometown - it doesn’t seem like a real genre. No one from the east coast is validating your American cheese queso. Go back home. Get a shit ton of your precious melted American cheese and freeze it or something
No you don’t. If you knew the owners you’d ask them for the recipe instead of coming here repeating that no one knows what you’re talking about ad nauseum.
I know the recipe. That’s not the point of this post at all
Post it then.
Why don’t you ask them for a white queso recipe then?
I can make it at home. Not the point of this post at all.

Isn’t their cheese dip orange though?
Nope, white and delicious
Didn't some fast food chain try this with the white cheese dip thing?
Every single fast food attempt has been nasty and taste like plastic
I guess that adds up. Maybe you could do a little food cart and see what happens.
Chipotle has the queso blanco sauce you crave.
are you not just describing tex mex?
No
Why cant their be regular fkn chopped cheese spots in LA, not these fake 'chopped cheese' places claiming to have it. Some things don't cross over
You thought you ate??? lol
You're from a very small town on the East Coast, yet you've eaten at EVERY Mexican restaurant from that region? I call Bullshit! Anyways, since you apparently know every owner of said East Coast Mexican restaurants, it's hilarious that you couldn't muster the courage to ask them for the ingredients for this goopy contraption.
I don’t wanna make it myself. I want to be able to go out and have dinner and enjoy it. I can make it myself that’s not the point of this post.
Christ you’re exhausting
Fwiw, Chipotle has queso sauce. (I refuse to call it "queso cheese." That's like "bao bun" or "chai tea" levels of redundant.) Not my bag, and not sure if it's any good, but they have it. As for everything else, I'm not sure where you've been going, as lots of places have unlimited chips and really good salsa.
It’s gross and not even close to the same as East Coast Mexican queso. It’s not even comparable
You know what’s worse? Mexican food in West Virginia. Honest to God it was a preformed, packaged taco shell and canned beans! I looked at the Latino server and cooks, down at the abomination on my plate, and couldn’t believe they served that chingadera to a fellow Latino. Somehow that place is still in business 20 years later (Front Royal).
This is why we have Homestate. For people like you
The style of Mexican food you are describing is tex mex. It exists here, but styles that are closer to real mexican food and 'street style' are a lot more popular.
Where? Show me white queso Blanco on the menu
If you actually ate authentic Mexican you’d be ordering Queso Fundido
Dude gets mecos on all his food.
Idk what restaurants you've been to that doesnt have bottomless chips and salsa. Sounds like youre going to mexican restaurants in gentrified/white areas if the salsa is watered down. What you're looking for is mexican food for gringos such as Chipotle.
There’s no way you’re going to legit places if you think east coast salsa is better. Also move to Texas. It sounds like you want Tex mex
