New Mexican counts too, in my opinion. It's not the same as regular Mexican; more emphasis on sauces made from the local chile peppers, and stuff like carne adovada you don't get anywhere else.
@dodec I don't believe we've ever had carne adovada but you are right, there is a distinct style of southwestern food, distinct from mexican despite how often USians tend to call it mexican (taco bell is *not* mexican food people) -F
There are all kinds of styles of Mexican food. California Mexican, Tex-Mex, New Mexican, Oaxacan, and lots others I can't think of offhand.
I don't think Taco Bell is quite any of these.
Oaxacan cuisine is interesting, though, because it's one of the few places they embrace eating insects - chapulines, which are a kind of grasshopper. I've been curious about trying them, but haven't found a place yet.
