We stayed in a hotel for a few weeks when we first moved there before finding a place to live. The hotel dining room served “tortillas” it said on the menu.

What I got was an egg omelet. I learned that Mexican food is Mexican, not Spanish.

Having spent time in both Mexico and Colombia, SA, I can tell you that ‘Mexican Food’ isn’t Mexican either.

My cattle farm is next door to a dairy that employs 10 Guatemalans for their labor. None of them speak English. These are all young, single guys who don't cook their own meals.

My morning walk takes me through the middle of the dairy. Since I speak Spanish, I talk with a few of them on a regular basis.

I asked them where they eat when they go out. They all said Mexican food.

Not too many Guatemalan restaurants around. :-)

Generally, it's Tex-Mex.
