Cuisine of Mexico is a type or style of food as they, originated in Mexico. Few dishes in this cuisine have a Spanish or Middle Eastern influence. This cuisine is known worldwide for its distinct and varied flavours, eye candy type decoration of the dishes, and variety of spices and ingredients used, many of which are native to the country.
This cuisine has generated its own fan following globally.
Authentic Mexican food was adapted and Americanized as "Tex Mex" (Texan-Mexican) cuisine.
Mexican cuisine also posed a strong influence over cuisine of the southwest United States and in California where their version of "Tex-Mex" is sometimes called Cal-Mex.
For example
A) “Nachos“ :- are rarely eaten in Mexico, whereas they are widely popular all over the world.
Cuisine-style is what differs the six regions of Mexico, it is like that almost each region has parted country with separate cuisines. .
1) In the Yucatan: - a unique, natural sweetness (instead of spiciness) exists in the widely used local produce along with an unusual love for achiote seasoning.
2) In contrast, the Oaxacan region is known for their savory tamales and celebratory moles, while the mountainous regions of the West (Jalisco, etc) are known for goat birria (goat in a spicy tomato-based sauce).
B) “Margaritas” :- They come in a variety of flavours and colors.
C) “Chimichanga” :- A deep-fried burrito with origins in Arizona, is a Mexican-inspired dish popular in the United States and in other countries outside of Mexico
Locating Mexican Restaurants
These restaurants can be found in almost any town throughout North America, and in many cities around the world,
Mexican restaurants in different regions of world have different menus such as:-
1)Restaurants outside the American Southwest often feature non-traditional ingredients, such as grated American-style cheese, "nacho" cheese or tomato-based sauce substitutes for Mexican chile-based sauces or mole.
2)Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado, and parts of Florida and Illinois have large expatriate Mexican populations, and a variety of authentic Mexican restaurants can be found in these states.
3) In other areas of the United States and Canada, Mexican dishes and restaurants vary as much as Chinese restaurants and dishes do between China and many locations in the western Hemisphere.
New Mexico's long tradition of Mexican settlement and history and also the Native American influence as well, has given birth to a unique form of New Mexican cuisine. Even though many of the dishes vary from their Mexican counterparts, they are still considered "authentic" or "traditional" for New Mexican cuisine. Both Mexicans and New Mexicans typically find each other's cuisine somewhat similar, yet unfamiliar, and non-traditional, typically missing the true taste that they desire. Mexican restaurants rarely initiate for specializing in New Mexican cuisine found outside of New Mexico except in the state of Colorado.
