You are 100% correct. I was referring to Tex-Mex. For those of us who grew up in Texas, but not in a border town or with Mexican relatives, it is pretty much all we know so we like that flavor. It is funny, though, because we do refer to it as "Mexican" even though we know that in the true sense of the word Mexican is different. However, you really don't hear anyone in the DFW area saying "Let's go out for Tex-Mex." We just call it Mexican, even though that is technically incorrect. Oh well.
And yes, Gloria's is El Salvadoran, but there is quite a bit of cross over to the Tex-Mex fare. Yummy, yummy, yummy.
