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.
Spent a lot of time exploring Iowa?
I’d imagine there is less of everything in general, but ranch/farmland with seasonal employment doesn’t seem like it’d be lacking Mexican culture
Fairly enough no. But I’ve been, and to many other places.
I’ve lived in both San Antonio, TX and Kansas. And know them well.
In San Antonio TexMex and more authentic food abound. In Kansas some TexMex and very few more authentic places. You gotta seek them out.
As I said, they still exist. But it’s not like there’s one traditional place for every TexMex place
