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!!!
I grew up in New Mexico and eating New Mexican food, which is a fusion of Navajo and other indigenous cultures and northern Mexican food. It uses almost exclusively our local grown chile, the Big Jim, or as it is mostly known, the Hatch Chile.
In NM we have a lot of New Mexican restaurants. I left the state in the 90s and lived and traveled across the East coast. There are a lot of Mexican places, but the food is very different than it if in my home state, mostly in the chile used.
My favorite place in Albuquerque is El Patio.
