Food is deeply ingrained in cultural identity, and is one way to learn about a community’s heritage, familial customs and values. In the U.S., Mexican food is one of the most popular cuisines, with 1 in 10 restaurants serving Mexican, according to recent findings from the Pew Research Center. This trend reflects an expanding Mexican American population, with 37.2 million people or 11.2% of the U.S. population tracing their ancestry back to Mexico.

      I have a very good answer for them- I don’t really like peppers or beans. I also don’t really like the way Mexican meat is seasoned and I don’t really like any of the Mexican cheese I’ve had. None of it is a dealbreaker if other people want to go to Mexican food, but it would be far from my first choice.
