I totally want a Beanzawave!
I know the cilantro discussion has crested and fallen, but I will mention, though I don't utterly hate it (it's fine in moderation in certain dishes), I resent it a lot. I love Mexican food, but I want it to taste like it did when I was a youngster. Cilantro completely took over all American Mexican cuisine sometime in the last two decades, and it makes me very sad. Even in my native New Mexico, lots of restaurants have decided to go with the trendiness and cilantro-ize what used to be to-die-for chile based sauces and salsas. It's just wrong. Give me back my traditional Mex and let the cilantro fans have a new category all their own.
Gad, I want an enchilada right now.
