I'm from Texas and Oklahoms and wish I could taste the appeal of Perches. I tried them a handful of times and wrote them off.

Del Gordo (both locations) has been the most similar to where I'm from and high quality every time I eat with them.

Perches is extremely popular here though and I've not been able to figure out why. They really seem to hold back on the seasoning and I'm a type of person that needs my food to melt my face off, so it's probably just my problem

Yes it is though. Depends what part of Mexico.

The color and flavor of most sauces or moles comes inherently from chillies for the base. Many soups too. Yucatan is well known for spicy food.

Not to mention Baja/Tijuana style food tends to vary between sour, spicy, and savory.

Maybe I'm wrong. And yes I love texmex too.
