Default Houston/Milan Mexican food, was Paris Notes (2)

Houston
I don't recall any of the names of the places, but we tried several
along Irvington Blvd. Food was good, just bland, not the 'burn your
intestines completely from one end to the other in 3 minutes' you find
in certain areas of west Texas and southern New Mexico, USA.

Milan
There are supposedly two Mexican restaurants in Milan owned by somebody
from Roswell, New Mexico, USA. I have not tried them, and rather doubt
I will ever actually get to Milan in our travels in northern Italy, but
I wonder if anybody has tried either the Louisiana Bistro or the El
Tropico Latino? Supposedly the Bistro is a hangout for the Delta pilots
on the Atlanta/Milan run.

Chilis
You can get a feel for the heat of a Mexican/Spanish restaurant by
asking the cook what varieties of chilis he uses - if he uses Big Jims
for rellenos and either Barker or Sandia for the salsa, you know you are
in good hands....................

Houston 'Mexican' is quite bland in my experience, El Paso would be
