good Italian is hard to beat but what I love about Mexican, aside from the delicious flavors, is the contrasts between cold and hot, cooked and raw, spicy and mild

This is SO SO tough.

I absolutely adore both, but I'm going to vote for my parent's homeland, Mexico. Headbanger

Uhm, Taco Bell isn't Mexican and even isn't especially Tex-Mexican.  If you've ever had Taco Bell "taco meat" you'll know it's too much like goo.  I mean for Chissakes they've used the term carne asada beef.  Carne asada is beef so it's only fair to assume their carne asada beef isn't really beef either.  Even the nacho cheese is not yo cheese.

I do have a confession to make.  Since my I got my new job I have picked up stuff from there on a regular basis because they, that's right they (there are two within close proximity to my office), because it's cheap and fast.  I feel so ashamed. EmbarrassedLOL

^ try that on someone doing acid, they won't laugh, but they will be stuck for half an hour thinking of the different ways that could be taken.

I never meant to suggest it was.

This is an extremely difficult poll....
 
If Italian s often reduced to pizza  & pasta, it's generally much more than the cliché found in restaurants (my fave dish would be Saltimboca ala romana), but I generally include in Mexican cuisine, the Tex-Mex and Andean cuisines (Peru, Chili, Columbian)
 
So overall,  I find these two cuisines tied for second place behind the Belgo-French cuisine (it's fairly hard to differentiate the two, so I made it one)
 
 
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Italian food by a mile.  I just love all kinds of spicy Italian meats, cheeses, and pasta dishes.  The Italians know how to eat well.

I also forgot to mention, the two blend well. Many dishes of Spain seem like a sort of combination between Mexican and Italian cuisine, likely because that's the culture.
