We all know that Cancún isn't "México". What defines it? Well, when there is a "Wet and Wild" amusement park being advertised and all the streetsigns are in English! Take a "pesero" (minivan crammed with people that only cost a peso, thus the name) to Dzibilchaltún and sit in a hut drinking pulque and THAT is closer. As for the enchiladas de queso. Depends on the queso. I am not speaking quesadillas here, I am talking about full-blown Oaxaca cheese. Very hard to find the real thing anywhere. Sadly, even in most of México. Of course you know the rule of thumb but for others, if the cheese is yellow, you are eating Tex-Mex. Typically soaked in grease. Bleah.
Same goes for tacos (which I would put ahead of any enfrijolada. TRUE tacos, though. If they ask "hard or soft shell?" You are in the wrong place!

Enchiladas de queso? Hmmm...I dunno, they're a bit overrated, if you ask me. Wouldn't really say they're worth killing for. But then again, I eat them quite frequently, since it's an easy dish to make, so maybe I'm just bored with it. Might also be the reason why I just melt away when I eat mole. I say enfrijoladas are better. Second place to mole, of course. Third place would be chiles rellenos. Or tacos de lengua. 
Can't say that I've had food from the Yucatan peninsula. I've BEEN there (Cancun), but never tried the food. Maybe next time I go there I'll try that cochinita pibil. You'll be the first to know.
God, I sound so American compared to your espanglish. Heheh.

No estoy de acuerdo. While good, I argue that enchiladas de queso is the best Mexican dish ever! Oaxaca cheese, tortillas de maíz, cremita, salsa verde (o, aún mejor, pico de gallo) and, por supuesto, frijoles y arroz. Aside, ever had good food from la Península Yucateca? Night and day difference from "traditional" - central México / plateau food. Try some cochinita pibil. Almost doesn't seem like it should come from México. ¿Sopa de lima? One of my favorites. Again, from the Yucután region.
Wish I could find ANY of those great dishes around here. Sadly, I have to make it myself. :(
