when i lived in the Los Angeles basin (10 years ago) there was a restaurant on the pier named "Pancho & Wong's" which was the fusion of Chinese and Mexican food. I distinctly remember ordering Moo Shoo Taco and Szechuan Burrito. Sadly, it burned during one of those pier fires, and didn't return. In between hitting on the hostess, I learned that all the cooks were Mexican, so I should expect the taste to tilt in that direction. Now that I'm in Dallas, I'm seeing several (5+) Indian-Chinese restaurants, providing a different kind of fusion. These include Masala Wok; Bombay Chinese (I guess they figured that Dallasites wouldn't ack Mumbai Chinese) and others, many of which are located near the University of Texas - Dallas campus which has a high percentage of Indian students. The traditional Indian restaurants appear to be taking a hit, as they are less and less popular with the Indian clientele. It's also possible that people are -finally- getting tired of the standard Indian buffet, every one of which includes 5 Indian dishes (tandoori chicken, basmati rice, palak paneer, etc.). One Indian restaurant that has a new image, and appears to be doing well, is Clay Pit which started in Austin and has migrated to Addison (a Dallas suburb which has more than it's fair share of restaurants).
