I am not trying to be crass, or sound racist, I am not. My g.f. is Hispanic. But I See a lot of Mexican people eating in Chinese or Asian restuarants, But I hardly ever see Asian people eating in Mexican restaurants . Just an obsevation.

You know I've seen the same thing around here!
I don't think this is racist at all.
My local Chinese buffet's customers are at least half hispanic and that is higher percentage than the local population.
I too have seen few Asians at Mexican restaurants.

I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley in SoCal (Los Angeles county), and yes, plenty of Far East Asians eat Mexican food. I mention the SGV because lots of Far East Asians live there.
One of my work friends is Chinese and she'll eat anything, lol! Actually she's not a garbage disposal, I mean she's a "foodie" and is very open to trying different. She loves Peruvian, Mexican, Italian, Middle Eastern, Indian, Soul food, even chowed down on some chitlins. She's tired of Far Eastern Asian foods 'cause she was raised on it and got sick of it. As for other foods, including some good ol' fashioned homecooked Mexican, she's game.

Yes, I do. I'm Chinese, but I was born here in the US, so I grew up eating Mexican, even though it was Taco Bell or Del Taco. But your observation is correct, not many immigrant Asians like Mexican food. I think it's because the food is completely different. Mexican food consist of tortillas, salsa, cheese, beans, etc. You would not find any of those ingredients in any Asian food. Just something else for you to observe.

By Asian do you mean orientals only like chinese and japanese and korean? I am from India, but most people only mean orientals when they say Asians.
I love Mexican food. its one of the few cuisines that can match Indian cuisine in spicyness.
Also have to comment on Tenacious C's comment. How dumb can you be? Asian people have accents and are short because they eat rice and fish!?! argh! such idoits annoy me know end.

It depends where you're from.
I live in Southern Cali and you see EVERYONE eating EVERYWHERE. i'm chinese and LOVE mexican food, as well as my friends who are Asian too. Also, Filipinos (you can call them Pacific-Islander if you want, but they are Asian too) are PART Mexican and a lot of them love Mexican food as well.
and just to let you know--Panda Express and PF Changs are NOT REAL Chinese food...so places like those don't count.

Of course asians like mexican food. You can't ever really generalize all asians as liking or not liking Mexican food.

I am not going to make any statements about Asians in general, but I know from experience that Indonesians do like Mexican food.
My wife and I became friends with a group of Indonesian students studying at UNM in Albuquerque.
Some time later, after they had all returned to their homeland, we visited them in Jakarta and my wife - who is a very good cook - asked if there was anything she could make for them.
The unanimous answer - you guessed it - "Yes, please make us some (New) Mexican food!" She did and they loved it.
