Maybe you have a good answer. Here's a story i was thinking about.There's two guys a Mexican and a Chinese. Theyre both friends, they live together. They decide to cook some chinese food. They go out and buy the ingredients. They prepare it together and eat it. Years later they both open thier own restaruants, both serving Chinese food, both using the same recipe they used that day to cook some Chinese food. The Mexican has Mexican workers serving. The Chinese has Chinese workers serving. A guy walks in to the Mexicans restaurant. He thinks to himself, this is being cooked by a bunch of Mexican's, this aint authentic Chinese food, it doesnt even taste like authentic Chinese food. So a day later he walks into the Chinese guys restaraunt. He thinks to himself, man this is some good authentic Chinese food. Same excact food, two different places. What is authentic Chinese food in this case?also, why do people consider Taco Bell not authentic Mexican food?

Did those receipes come from Mexico? I don't think so. I'm a Mexican and I've never wrapped my tosada with a flour tortilla before! Taco Bell food was created by some Californicator who had the munchies!

LMAO! As for taco bell, that is revamped mexican food by white people. NO mexican cooks like that. As for the chinese food, it is just as authentic if it is the same recipe. I do not see the difference, I see how it tastes. Taco bell is white people in a white cooperation with their idea of what is mexican food tastes like. It is funny to see that real mexicans eat there. Same with chinese food, if you see chinese people eat at the place then you should eat it LMAO!

It's all in the head, but very true. I walked into a Mexican restaurant once and seen a bunch of white folks (whiter than my very white self!) doing the serving. I told my husband that I was disappointed because they wouldn't be the real thing. Would you know they were indeed Hispanics from Mexico!?! They couldn't even speak English! They were just white. Oh, yeah, and the food was SUPER!I hear that our Chinese food is not authentic in America, also, but most of us haven't been there to try it. They say we probably wouldn't eat the real stuff... and they are probably right! Mexico, on the other hand, is closer, many of us have been there, and the food is closer so it comes in still authentic. Taco Bell is good, authentic or not, but it is a food in it's own class. If you are from a non-hispanic area, it is more Mexican than McDonald's, but say, in Texas, it is probably considered to be very Americanized.
