Mexican restaurants generally serve Tex-Mex.  American Chinese 
restaurants have two problems, they serve Americanized dishes and they 
serve from a peculiar cross section of cross-section of Chinese

ethnic cuisine.  Actually this situation was getting better as 
Americans became more cosmopolitan.
