Queso?

Question

Ok ladies...heading home to visit Texas. Can I really not eat queso at the Mexican restaurants???

Answer

I'm a Texan. :) Few restaurants use queso fresco in queso dip...it's too expensive! Depends on if you're going to a Tex-Mex place (less authentic and not likely to use unpasteurized cheese), or if it's an authentic taqueria. But an authentic taqueria probably wouldn't have queso dip anyway! Also, it's heated to a high temperature to melt the cheese, which likely kills bacteria. Similar to how they tell pregnant women to heat lunch meat to steaming hot before eating it, to kill any potential bacteria. My advice is just to ask, and then enjoy your queso! :)

Answer

Wow I've never heard that! I are what I wanted (within reason) with my first 2 and I'll do it again with the next one. I just avoided whatever gave me heartburn. I live in Texas so I hope there's nothing weird with cheese, is die without cheese!

Answer

I had no idea queso dip was a concern. I've hear of no blue cheese and no feta cheese but have never heard of a problem with eating queso dip. I've been eating it...oops

Answer

Not all queso is made with queso blanco. Ask your server what cheeses are involved. I eat Chuy's queso all the time!

Answer

I eat queso all the time, just no queso fresco. I couldn't give it up!

Answer

Ask if it's pasteurized, if so it's fine.

Answer

I would ask how they make it. My sister worked at a Mexican restaurant and their "queso blanco" was really just melted mozzarella with jalapeños in it.
