9. worst Mexican food ever

So I'm in a tiny desert town in Arizona tonight, just a few miles from the southern border. It's a fly-spot of a town, an hour out into the desert without many hospitality options and I didn't bring camping gear. My motel room is really worn, but it's only $54 for the night. There was just one place open for dinner. It's Mexican, and I figured this close to Mexico the food must be legit. I was wrong. It was awful. The worst I've ever tasted. It made Taco Bell look good. And authentic, lol.

To be clear, this was not the server's fault, so I made up an excuse for not eating much, smiled, and left her a decent tip. Not going back for breakfast, however.
