Green chile is a New Mexico thing, not a Mexican thing. Even Tex Mex hardly has any thing that would be considered green chile in it. Honestly New Mexico has completely destroyed Mexican food by slathering green chile on absolutely every god damn meal. It’s disgusting. Go to Mexico and you won’t find green chile anywhere.
Green chile with meat might be, but green chile sauce on its own is definitely Mexican, I thought. Are enchiladas with green sauce not Mexican? Regardless, I deleted my comment cause I don’t want to spread misinformation in case I’m wrong.
I think you’re probably right. I have seen green sauce on enchiladas in a few places, like Texas and Colorado and I don’t remember it being often (usually red sauce), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in Mexico. I could definitely be wrong though.
Aren’t you a fellow Texan? I’ve seen all kinds of crazy shit here, even in places like South Padre. There’s just something about that burrito that seems like a burrito made for someone who has never seen a burrito. And possibly by someone who only heard one described.
Depends on where you are. There’s actually a big Hispanic community where I am in NoVA, and while I haven’t explored as much as I should, I at least found a pupusa restaurant near me that seems legit, and there are plenty of Peruvian places.
This is exactly what I’d expect a Mexican joint in Virginia to serve.

I don’t know why I had it in my head that you were one of the other Texans around, sorry about that.
I know this is a one word reply but it brought forth the Wolfenstein scene with Hitler, “No mein Feur im from Arizona”.
You don’t understand! It’s so hard to find good Mexican food, at all, on most of the east coast! Just moved away from Maryland.
