Many people think Mexico is the only country that exists, but I don’t think they’re that arrogant. Or are they?

    Biggest pet peeve is when people think texmex is traditional Hispanic food.

    Didn’t Texas use to be a part of Mexico?

      Yep, well before the American taco was a thing (aka the taco emoji 🌮). It’s going to overlap with Mexico a bit because they’re next to each other, but it’s hardly indicative of the vast majority of Latin America

      Traditional street food varies by country. Traditional dishes are more along the lines of rice and beans, soups, platters, grilled meat, and so on. It’s a very diverse part of the world
