i am a person that was born and well still lives in mexico and learned english at a very young age,and well i am a very huge fan of america and american culture!!! i’m glad a lot of american stores and places and even food are here,thanks for that. but anyway, one time when i was browsing through the internet i found some videos of people that were saying that there were like mexican villages in the united states and there was also a lot of mexican food there?? why is that??? i thought mexican food was only found here, like, beans, and tacos, i heard about taco bell but i believe that’s just a new thing. thanks!!!
There is an american version of Mexican food widely available (Mexican-American), for example you mentioned taco bell in america but this is not authentic Mexican food (also taco bell has been open for decades in america). It will be hard to find actual authentic Mexican food here, you would have to really research and visit yourself. Even when I lived in a city near the border of Mexico I would still have to cross the border for authentic Mexican food but there was plenty of Tex-Mex around since that was popular. In my current area I’ve seen a couple of businesses open specifically offering authentic Mexican food or even Puerto Rican food and each time it was not authentic, and the “authentic” “Puerto Rican” food was usually gross and nothing like food back in PR.
Hard to find authentic Mexican food?
You just insulted the millions of Mexican families that run Mexican restaurants in the US.
I insulted no one, wth? It is hard depending on where you live, that’s why I told them to research. You think I live in a place with a Latino community? Most people in my entire county have never heard of Puerto Rico where I live. I’ve never run into anyone speaking Spanish in the wild. It is nonexistent. I think it’s weird you assume there are a bunch of Mexican families running authentic Mexican restaurants in every city in the US. You have to find the hubs yourself and see if it is truly what you are looking for.
And just because a Mexican family has a restaurant does not mean it isn’t like Tex-Mex or another variety of Mexican-American food. Mexican families didn’t all agree to only serve one type of Mexican food, authentic or not.
