Oh give it a rest. You wouldnt know Mexican food if it was served to
you on a silver plate.

It is a big country. It's versions are as endless as ours are. Like
most great things, you get fusion across the borders and you have Baja
Mexico in San Diego. Did you expect to see southerly versions made
near Panama in TJ?

Sure they eat lots of fruits in season and other things at season.
Folks along the coast use lots of fish/seafood too traditionally.
