This article is not talking about chili con queso; it is describing what is known as "queso", which just means "cheese" in spanish, but in Tex-mex cuisine, as an appetizer it means the cheese dip described here.

Chili con queso really is bean chili, with added cheese. Chili con carne is bean chili with added meat.

I disagree. I'm a native Texan and this dish is called Chili con queso on the menu in just about all of the innumerable Tex-Mex restaurants I've eaten at, even though people do just call it "queso" colloquially. I've never heard the term used in the way you assert. Now I'm in California and I really miss Tex-Mex food, especially queso. :-( 66.214.161.114 06:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, and not to mention the "real" Chili con Queso, which is about 3-4 different kinds of chili's roasted/stewed together, with REAL CHEESE on top (not the stuff they feed cheese - cheese food, aka velveeta), and then broiled.

Chili = the peppers, chili con carne = chili pepper with meat, chili con carne y frijoles = peppers, meat, and beans (typical Tex-Mex chili), and chili con queso = peppers and cheese. Chili con queso is NOT a bowl of chili with cheese on top. That is misunderstanding the language, like saying spaghetti alla Bolognese is Chef Boyardee glop topped with a slice of bologna. --Eeyore tim 20:40, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chile con Queso in Iowa

the version found in a few authentic Mexican restaurants here in Iowa is always white & creamy, made with Asadero cheese ... the yellow and/or velveeta crap mentioned in the article is not Chile con Queso, it is the cheap and easy way to make Nacho dip.

As a native Texan now living in Chicago, I dispute this strongly - chile con queso can use a variety of cheeses, spices, and toppings, and the cheese does NOT have to be white. It can be an easily melting yellow cheese as well, or cheddar heavily mixed with cream. Velveeta is indeed the cheap way to make chili con queso, but you are just plain wrong that queso is always or even often white in tex-mex cuisine. It's usually yellow, though it can be white. If you are the person that put "white" all over the page, I've demanded citations on it. I disagree with you that strongly. Kenn 16:23, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regional bias

Yet another food article on Wikipedia based on little more than, "this is how they do it in my neighborhood", and,"the place we went when I was in high school, was the first". This article is worthless without references and citations.24.165.188.30 04:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

   Why don't you come to Texas and find out for yourself? Stop at any Tex Mex restaurant and you'll find it on the menu as an appetizer! This is not just in Houston, where I live. It is statewide!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.98.139 (talk) 23:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
