I watched the show. Although I have no complaint about Tacos Lily, I am somehow wondering about the idea that Bourdain spent time down there and
really never visited a real restaurant, of which there are many fine examples. Almost makes me think there's a certain disdain built in to his psyche
about Mexico.

I don't think it's some much disdain as it is the typical American mindset that the only good eats in Mexico are tacos, burritos and the occasional
torta...oh, and all of it served with a heavy dose of rice and beans
