As someone from the southeast I had the opposite reaction when visiting Cali. I felt like there was no soul in that food at all. More healthy tho.

Edit: Rethinking it, I'm actually sure there's good and bad in both places.

    If youre visiting, get away from the tourist shops. This is true when you're visiting anywhere. Don't eat the food made for tourists.

    Ask a local, find some place that has a dude selling burritos out of an unmarked doorway counter. If you see an old mexican lady wandering around with a ice chest behind her, shes selling homemade tamales, get that shit.

    Food near tourist areas is made bland af to appeal the widest visiting audience.

    As another person from the southeast, similar is true down here and most places: a locally known and mildly sketchy situation is the best! (Usually..)

    Gas station places with a packed parking lot, open church bbqs, the smoky old dark wood panel places serving the best burger you ever had.

    That said, the first time I had a proper tamale when I moved to Texas, omgosh! Magic.
