Late to this thread due to all the running around trying to relocate my
restaurant, but here's my 2 paisa:

I think that is indeed the crux of the problem. Most people don't have a
point of reference for "authentic" Mexican food (yours truly included.)
The only thing that they are familiar with is the Tex-Mex stuff - dishes
you can find at places like IndiJoe's, Ruby Tuesday, TGIF, etc. When the
impression so many people have of the cuisine is that it's "meat in a
tortilla with cheese and some stuff on the side", it's an uphill task to
elevate it to any kind of "fine dining" concept. It's far less risky to
sneak in a couple of dishes as part of some fusion or coffee shop menu.
