All the mexican food I have tried in Poland is disgusting but hey if it has corn in it it must be mexican right? Oh and cabbage with fajitas is just plain wrong!!

The only real mexican food I eat in Poland is from my kitchen.

Carne Asada, pico De galo, Guacamole.... Taquitos MMMmmmm.....

I have to get the corn tortillas, Habinaro sauce and refried beans shipped from the US though.

Cali boy in Poznan.

I understand your pain. I wish there was somewhere to get decent Mexican food myself. But are you serious about shipping refried beans from the States? Are you looking for a special variety or something, or are they just plain kidney beans? And Habanero sauce is available in specialty shops in Warsaw, so my guess Poznan shouldn't be too far behind. Warsaw Tortilla Factory has apparently started making corn tortillas, though I've only seen them made into tortilla chips so far.

strangely enough there was a reasonable mexican place on monte cassino about 12 years ago. didnt last long as i think only me and my german friend ate there. shame. its all gone down hill since then. the one in the crazy house tries, but as you say, cabbage with fajitas just aint right.

I agree, a lot of what people mistakenly label as "American" or "American junk food" is pretty bad for you. But a lot of it does taste pretty good. Most of it comes from other cultures and is changed due to not getting the right ingredients that they were used to back home. Then from there, it gets adulterated into the fast-food versions. But almost none of it is actually American in origin.

I wish Polakowski in Kazimierz would become a chain--cheap, good food. A lot of of simple Polish food.

Best pizza I have had here in Krakow is Pizzeria Rewolucja in the Borek Falecki area, the one in the streets back behind Solvay Park Mall off Zakopianka. They have a website:

pizzeriarewolucja.pl/index.php?mod=promocje

Best "fast food" Polish food I have had is from a little mini-bar on Kosciukowski Street, back in the same area, off Zakopianka. Their bigos, golabki, lasanki, krokieti and uszka z miesem are good--and fairly cheap. Good deserts, too and everything made fresh daily. You can dine in or carry out. (Sorry--I don't have the Polish letters for the correct characters for the l).

Well as far as the refried beans in the states you can get dehydraded refried beans that are very very good much better than canned. I brought 3 cases with me to Poland, I still have a years supply. I have yet to find any good hot sauce in Poznan. Luckily my job brings many co-workers here for short trips, they always bring me tortillas, hot wing sauce, Daves total insanity sauce, and real Bar-B-Q sauce. And sometimes Crown Royal (-:

Next I guess I have to grow my own Cilantro (korinader) because the stores here seldom have it.

If I was in Warsaw I could go to the Embassy Commisary and get many things but it's rather a long trip for groceries.

Going to the USA in June will bring an empty suitcase to fill with food stuffs and some clothing without rediculus graphics and writing all over them.

brilliant... we'll be round for dinner at 7 sharp :-)

Top notch.



Is it bring a bottle?

If you have access to that, you're one lucky man. For me, the place might as well be Ft. Knox - I know it's there, but it does me no good.

It's small about the size of a 7-11 but stocked pretty good. I have only been there 2 times in the 20 months I have been in Poland. But last weekend I drove to Sopot and it wasn't a bad drive. I guess I'll have to do Warsaw soon. I'm not sure they are open on Saturday though and it's hard to get away from work on a weekday. I realy wish they had an embassy/commisary in Poznan.

Are any of the Americans on this forum living in Poznan?

I haven't found a decent Mexican restaurant in the tri city. El Paso in Oliwa has a good reputation but I think that's only among people who've never eaten authentic Mexican food. I won't go back again. I'm from the San Diego area and good Mexican food was everywhere. I've given up on eating it here unless I make it myself.

And In-n-Out makes the best burger by far.

Pizza here can be good if you find a place that doesn't drown it in ketchup. I can't quite understand that but it happens.


Fresh seafood and lamb are almost impossible to find.

Being so far from the sea, that's understandable, I guess... Lamb is a problem nearly everywhere in Poland.

HI I am having trouble finding all the information I need online if you could help I would appreciate it. Here are the questions I need answers too:

Is there McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut etc in Poland?
What food do they serve that is different then North America?

To be honest when last time I was in Poland (my family & I stopped on the road to eat at McDonald's ...McDonalds in Poland are much nicer, cleaner, nice interior design done...I was impressed) much more sophiscated over there

i went ot pizza hut in downtown warsaw (not far from our presidents house. it wasn't bad and the service was good..

I hope that was sarcastic :) There's plenty of fresh fish near the Baltic...mostly fried cod and flounder, but it's still fresh.

In Poznzn lamb is easy for me to find. I usually get in Piotr i Pawel or Makro. makro also has tons of fresh fish.

Saw a drive throu just outside Kraków recently Mc D i steer clear of it myself and stick to real food

I've been eating normal salads as Polish veg is fresh and tasty. Always a couple of eggs in there too. I do like fast food but I just can't eat it as it means instant weight gain for me. Others can eat it often and gain no weight.

On the drive out of Warsaw, I was asked if I wanted to stop for a KFC.
Was 'Ni chuja' the correct answer? It raised a chuckle and we ate sandwiches that had been packed for the journey instead.

U heard it here first. My proposed 'invention' would be the Kurwa Mac. Think about it, u have the Big Mac and Fish Mac, why not the Kurwa Mac? It would be one bi*ch of a burger ;)

Lol thought that was the name for Mcdonalds anyways :)

Would it sell? I'm young and looking for a quick profit. NOT!!

Too many young prats trying to make a quick buck and not contributing much to anything in the process. I'm 30 and know how to stick it there.

Still, it would be worth floating the idea, the Kurwa Mac, it does have a certain ring to it. It would sell like hot cakes here although Mikky D's would lose it's 'family reputation' in a one-ner, LOL

they sell crap burgers already no one would notice if u gave them free fries :)

They are not that bad, they fill a hole

I am more interested in the Melon size ones that are soft a squissy,
