You can find an American-Chinese restaurant everywhere, but I was very surprised to find a Chinese-Mexican restaurant in Florida (Indiantown, Florida to be precise): https://www.google.com/maps/@27.024428,-80.4724516,3a,75y,218.04h,91.94t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smB9PfMrpI8aZoZNIjDYbKg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 https://www.google.com/maps/@27.024428,-80.4724516,3a,75y,21...
Haven't eaten there, but have passed the place plenty of times (girlfriend's Mom used to live in Indiantown).
- partisan 10y agoI had plenty of meals at Chino-Latino places growing up. In my neighborhood, they were the only Chinese food places that offered a sit-down dining experience. Every standard Chinese place was all takeout and even then, all transactions took place through some bulletproof plexiglass. At the Chino-Latino places, you would get toasted slices of italian bread and butter instead of fried noodles and duck sauce and you could get you favorite sides like mofongo or tostones. I miss the experience. My mom would treat us to it when she could.

Personally I, a mexican, was not particularly impressed. On the other hand I thoroughly enjoy the Jap-Mex Sushirrito. Then again the whole of Mexican food here in the US is at least somewhat americanized too.
