Does anyone know what kind of cheese mexican restaurants use to make there super good cheese dip? The one i've had is sort of a white cheese. I have no idea what kind.

Does this help? I remember this thread because I had this sauce at several places and loved it.

Well, this brand certainly melts very well - far better than Manchego. It's sort of like a cross between firm Farmer's Cheese & Monterey Jack. I have had brands that were crumblier, but they melted quite well too. I have a feeling the melting qualities may be a brand-specific thing.
