    Ohio’s Mexican food is fine. Better than it has any right to be, not great though. I’ve found better tex-mex in Toledo, OH than in Houston, Tx (Houston’s tex-mex is kinda shit though).

    I have never seen real Mexican food in the US worth having outside of my half-cousin’s Abuelito’s kitchen.

      Yeah I’m not the person to speak on good Mexican food as an Ohioan who moved to the PNW but you can get pretty decent Mexican food in Columbus. Yeah it’s americanized, but it’s good. And Candado is good for what it is.

      My dad grew up in Ohio, so when he was alive we would go there annually for a family reunion and, in the days surrounding the reunion, just kind of wander the surrounding areas.

      My introduction to Magic: The Gathering was stepping into a thrift shop in Akron and discovering the entire (at the time) collection of books in a box for … I don’t remember the exact price, but an eminently affordable cost. I don’t much care for the game, but I definitely enjoyed working my way through the book series.
