The Texan Burger RM$25 Sweet pickles, fried onions, maple grilled bacon, cheddar cheese, grilled beef patty and Texan BBQ mayo This one wasn&#8217;t too Mexican. It was a good old-fashioned, hearty American hamburger and it was satisfying. Oven Baked Chicken Chimichanga RM$30 With red beans, rice, cheese and tomato topped with sour cream This one did it for me.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is warm and heartening. Have you noticed the coleslaw on the side of the entrees?\u00a0 Come for that!\u00a0 That might be the most delicious coleslaw I have tasted. Good Old-Fashioned Apple Pie RM$15 Drizzled in caramel sauce and served with ice-cream Yes! Good old fashioned apple pie. Nothing ground breaking but authentic and on point.\u00a0 I particularly like this as the authenticity simply transported me away from hot,\u00a0 humid JB to the temperate countryside in some Western country. Overall,\u00a0 all the dishes were executed with thought, care and expertise.\u00a0 1875 The Mex makes for an interesting experience in JB. 1875 The Mex No. G-31, Jalan Masai Jaya Plentong, Masai Tel: +607-3510872","og_url":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/1875-the-mex-johor-bahru\/","og_site_name":"Luxe Food &amp;
