Mexican food in Munich
You may need to make your own. German "Mexikaner" aren't known for their food but more for their cocktails, which Americans may not think are much good.See the TT guide for reviewed Mexican restaurants, comments welcomed.
Many groceries (real, HIT, MiniMal, HL, etc.) now carry Mexican food as well as Japanese, Chinese, and American. Not necessarily what you're looking for but may do in a pinch.
Known Mexican shops in Munich:
Mercado de México
Schulstrasse 38, Munich Neuhausen
Phone: 089 13937564
Mercado de México in Neuhausen might be of interest to fans of spicy food. They are a lot cheaper than anywhere else I've tried (30 wheat tortillas for 3.50€ and they freeze beautifully) and also stock chipotle chiles in adobado sauce in tins as well as some fresh produce. Their freezer cabinet is a new addition with some ready-made dishes on offer. It isn't a big store but they are very nice people (and the website like them is trilingual).
Dried peppers, frozen tamales in corn husks and empanadas (both of which Gen really enjoyed, the tamales in the banana leaves weren't good though), some things supplied by La Tortilla below. The owner will also be offering cooking classes in fall (October 2005) -- she quoted me a price of 50 euros per person, class size of 6, covers teaching, cooking, and materials.
Closed February 2009, opening again March 2009, after a change of ownership.

Sometime during 2004 there was a shop called Natürlich Mexico at Westenriederstrasse 43 in the city center (Tel. 089 21019931). Note, however, that this shop is reported closed or no longer there.
Dona Lissy used to be at Häberlstr. 15A (UBahn Goetheplatz) but has closed.
An online Mexican grocery: mex-al.de - The stuff comes really fast, and they have all sorts of Mexican beers, spices, foods etc. I highly recommend the "lemon mix" spice. Combined with a bit of fresh lemon juice and cilantro (koriander) it makes the best damned Chicken wings I have ever had! I did not care too much for their tortillas I found them a bit too thick for my taste.
Metro and any number of Asian food stores or Turkish groceries have fresh cilantro -- called Korianderblatt.
