Grande

Mexican can eat really spicy food. The food is generally 7/8 out of 10 in spicy scale and some of the sauces are even 10. They are even spicy for an Indian tongue like me.

Many of the food items have same ingredients but different bread. or just change one ingredient but may have whole different name. Semitas and Toratas for exmaple only one or two ingredients different.

Mexicans like to eat a lot of cheese and fried food. Frying tortillas (Mexican rotis)  and frying chicken are very common. The wahaka cheese which is a special kind of Mexican cheese is used with generous hand.

People are very nice and friendly. They would go out of the way to fulfil your requests and with smiling face. That is something very new to a person from Pune. For example the lady where we generally have lunch did not have spoons, but when bought chankallas (sorry for the spelling), we asked for the spoon because it was not dry. She could have said she does not have it, but in stead she went out and bought a few plastic spoons for us quickly.

Found the right spelling... its' chanclas

Food is very colorful here with red, green sauce, white cheese, yellow mexican rice and black beans. Brings a different presentation to your plate. (It depends on what you manage to order with your Spanish and the recipient's English). It could get really messy sometimes. I once ordered a sandwich and fries on the side. I got a big sandwich and a huge plate full of french fries worth 45 pesos. Entire team ate fries of that plate. Considering that our daily lunch is about 40 pesos; the dish was huge.

Luda ordered some juice at a taco place (Grande - large size). It happened to be so large that she could not finish 30% of it.
