Being a Tex-Mex guy, some of the recipes are not to my taste, but NM chiles are delicious as hell.

Never eaten in New Mexico but I do love things smothered in red or green chili sauce so that sounds good to me.

I always liked the chiles and also the sauce, but got a little sick of refried beans. what are the big differences between tex-mex and new mexican style food?

Having grown up there, I miss it.

Also: Tex-Mex is garbage. Real Mexican food is where it's at.

If you get back there (dunno where you're from) stop off at a road side stand in late summer and get some fresh roasted chiles.

I miss the food.

I like real mexican food a lot. don't know that much about tex-mex, though. I've eaten mexican food in texas and thought it was pretty good though.

You're garbage. Your whole life is garbage. Everything you love is garbage. Garbage.

where did you grow up btw? I really liked NM a lot, spent most of our time in gallup and albuquerque.

I don't really know much about The Theory of NM-Style. Generally speaking, I would say that NM Style seems a little simpler and less rich than Tex-Mex.
