What about an enchilada? At its simplest, it's just a corn tortilla with cheese, meat, or another filling, and then baked.

I don't care much for shrimp, or any seafood either.

I like most kinds of meat, fruit, grains, and dairy. It's just the vegetables and seafood that I don't care for.

Eat Texan. You should like their food.

Huitlacoche, perhaps? It looks gross, but it's not among the things you forbade and I heard that it's actually rather tasty...

A cheese quesadilla?

Quesadillas have tomatoes and onions in them.

I have this topic because if I were taken to a Mexican restaurant, or invited to a dinner with Mexican food, what am I going to have?

Menudo doesn't have onions and peppers in it. You put those in after as a garnish. Along with lime and cilantro and all sorts of other goodies. Mmm...garnishes...

[up][up]If you want to play it safe, you could simply order a steak or something.

Depends. Is it a real Mexican restaurant or one of those "Mexican" restaurants? If it is a "Mexican" restaurant ordering carne asada nets you a rather bland steak that isn't carne asada on average.

Maybe you could ask them to remove the onions?

At some of these locations kids menus have chicken fingers. Some places also have burgers that are supposedly MEXICANIZED. This typically means just sticking a stupid name onto what is typically a normal burger. All of your big brand name Mexican restaurants are "Mexican".

I've had cheese crisps (open-faced quesadillas) that had nothing on them but cheese, so...

Why not just specify to the waiter to hold the veggies?

I used to be veggie (specifically onion) phobic, but one night during finals week I ate a quesadilla with everything and was so hungry I didn't pick off anything and it was like being reborn. Now I eat everything except mushrooms.

Buffalo wings make me sick sometimes, but that might be because I eat them too fast...

Go to the Mexican restaurants by the pawn shops and internet cafes. And, of course, the ones where the businesses around it have signs in Spanish.

Mexican restaurants are all over the United States and most are all close to the actual cuisine.

I try all the foods I know I dislike once every 3 months. So far, I have started liking about 75% of them.

Not sure where that falls.

At least you're not going to the hell that is Off the Border. That place is a disgrace to everything Mexican food.

...Yeah, come to think of it, I think I've only seen it in AZ.

Also, I know a place called Filiberto's (I think) that has pretty good Mexican food, in my opinion.
