There needs to be a term for those restaurants/cafes that pop up when gentrification happens
The UK corrolary is an Asian (what do you mean there are multiple countries and cultures in Asia?) restaurant called something like Geisha with menus in Wonton font selling the saddest Baos you’ve ever seen in your life.
Family once took me to a “mexican fusion” place where I ordered chili, and the uncooked generic red chili slices they had on top as garnish were spicier than the entire chili, which just tasted like a generic meat stew.
Mexican food in general seems to be the hardest food to get acceptable examples of in Europe, most everything else is usually fine but anything “Mexican”(Or more usually, Tex-Mex" is just absolute dogshit.
I once ordered “elote” from a “Mexican” restaurant in Europe with reduced expectations and they were still crushed. I’m saying I got a microwaved half corn cob rolled around in a styrofoam container with a half dash of unmelted shredded cheese also in the box.
