I generally don’t order alcoholic beverages in restaurants with the exception of Mexican restaurants. At home, on fajita night, my dad always makes margaritas. There is just something nice about being buzzed and eating guac, chips, and softshell tacos.

Is this conditioning? Because my family often does this— or is this a more general phenomenon because Mexican food; by some quality yet unknown, be it texture, flavor, or smell, is uniquely well suited to being paired with alcohol?

    Ahh Doner Kebab. That chain needs to make it to the states. When I was stationed in Germany I lived off that stuff…… and crystal weizen.

      What chain? Doner Kebab is the name of the food, it’s served in several places, it’s like saying Hot Dog chain should make it to Europe.

        hell I always thought the chain was called Doner Kebob.

        The were sold out of these little yellow kiosks around Bad Kreuznach , if that helps.

          In Bad Kreuznach in RLP? I know that city, it’s pretty empty most of the time. Just to be clear, Döner is a specific category of food, and you will likely find a lot of Dönerläden in Germany.

          Sorry I don’t live in Germany, so I don’t know the chain, but are you sure it’s a chain and not some random restaurant? When I was in Germany I remember seeing lots of random restaurants selling Pizza + Kebab, with no apparent name, just the sign saying what they sold.
