It might be easiest to say that it’s “Mexican food” that you probably won’t find in most parts of Mexico. Think tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, chalupas, flautas, burritos, nachos, and so on.

Mexico is a large, diverse country that’s home to many distinct culinary traditions from places like Oaxaca, the Yucatan Peninsula, and Jalisco. Different regions incorporate foods and cooking styles from the Aztecs and other Indian nations with those of the Spanish and their descendants...
