Ethnic foods you're supposed to like (but hate)

Sure you find some things you like here and there, but overall nothing I lost sleep about. And I've tried all kinds of regional mexican, upscale mexican, etc.

Seriously, by where I live there are at least 10 great mexican restaurants that span the range from a cheap greasy joint that serves the real stuff to a bunch of upscale places that are as good as anything I've found in mexico city. And the regional stuff as well.

P.S. I don't think I've ever had mexican food in the US that wasn't made by a mexican, most likely an illegal one as well.
