Real Mexican joints do have it, the authentic dish is called queso fundido.
Tex-Mex version is chile con queso, or queso
Both are queso dip for tortillas.
Queso fundido is thicker because they use real cheese. Often oaxaca (asodero) or chihuaua.
Here: http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/tequila-queso-fundido.aspx They suggest cheddar and jack in that one too, not traditional, but it will add sharpness and be a little like the Tex-Mex, so figured I'd post it. Kind of a hybrid.
PS. wayright that cheese looks awesome. Looks like real queso fundido cheese, is it good?
End result looks AWESOME!

Edit:
I found Rick Bayless' original recipe. I knew he would not suggest cheddar, he's all about real deal Mexican. Someone changed his recipe. Here is the original: http://www.rickbayless.com/recipe/view?recipeID=138
The tequila in it usually makes it a dish called queso flameado, if you flambee it, but technically it is still queso fundido.
Here's two more:

Maybe not so authentic, but I have never seen the cheese mentioned above. I gotsta find it!
Queso dip:
1 lb land o lakes jalapeno cheese, cubed
1 of those medium sized tin foil wrapped blocks of cream cheese
peppers of your choice, diced up
Grab a double boiler throw everything in there, melt it all while stirring
While that is going, grab some thin corn tortillas, slice em into 6es, then get a shallow pan, coat the bottom with some oil plus some, turn the burner to a bit past half power heat the oil and fry the tortilla chips to taste. Salt, pepper and paprika. Dip away!
