I LOVE TAMALES AND MEXICAN RICE TACOS AND CHEROS AND NACHOS

gr8 veg entries :)

A lot of these are tex mex and not authentic Mexican...

I'd never heard of the South of the border burger & I'm mexican lol

Nachos aren't Mexican, and if you order most of this dishes in México they won't look like that

Im mexican and im surprised that you actually included some real mexican dishes. Just to make it clear we have no such thing as tacos with hard tortilla her. We have no taco bell or anything like that

most of these aren't Mexican tbh. There either TexMex or Mexican and American infused dishes.
