Living in San Diego, the food was usually a weird sort of texmex with a higher balance toward the mex (though the burritos and such were quite generic), but its interesting to see the variations in places such as New Mexico, Texas (the exact same dish and sides vary between cities), and California where you'd expect the mexican food to be more genuine since half the population is, ya know, Mexican.
But I've had the dough thing before, as well as blue and pink corn tortillas, regional variations of Mexican food (the differences between Tijuanam, Mexicali, Reynosa, and Tepic cuisine were far more pronounced than I expected) and finding out the culinary quirks of a specific area are quite interesting.
