You can try a Mexican food in Mexican restaurants However, a real Mexican food is quite unlike the dishes found in most Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants. In tourist areas you will find Mexican restaurants with familiar names and gringo menus, though the offerings will often be over-priced and not of a high standard.

Main food preparation in Mexico is mixing. Corn, a staple for over 4,000 years, is the backbone here. The kernels are softened in water and lime and then ground and fashioned (most commonly) into tortillas. Protein-rich beans and an infinite variety of chilies round out this holy trinity of Mexican cookery. The Spanish liked what they saw in Mexico and added a few things of their own, among them domestic animals, sugar and cheese. Mexican cuisine is further enhanced by an incredible array of fruits and vegetables which seem to taste better in Mexico than anywhere else.
