Nice bro same place here... we should pm later to play online.. see you around!
I'm going back to my native Mexico City next month and I am getting hyped watching one of my favorite youtube foodie channel.
Some very few people may be upset, but I can assure you that the vast majority of mexicans would instead ask to join the party.
And we would get you drunk beyond your wildest imagination.
Have been in Mexico last year to experience day of the dead and probably will celebrate it here this year
Anybody a fan of mariachi? What would you recommend as an example of the best the genre has to offer?
That's asking between your left or right arm.
Nope. Most people here wouldn't care. Hell, most would ask if they can join the party lol
I love el Clasico Mariachi Loco!

The only marichi song is the first one, the rest are cumbias lol
The best mariachi csong writer was Jose Alfredo Jimenez, but the best singers are Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete both from the "golden age" in Mexico's cinema and a more modern one could be Vicente Fernadez.
LOL copied the wrong link. Fixed it Mau. Also, long time no see!
I love it, even knowing the first song is the only mariachi one! :P Thanks for sharing.
Thanks as well! I am gonna plug all of these names into Spotify and YouTube.
Another music question: What's your favourite version of Cielito Lindo? I heard that song when I was young and it always stuck with me. I actually heard a rendition played on the radio (in Spanish, even!) at the Walmart where I work in my little town in NC, USA a couple weeks ago. Was really cool.
Food question: The chorizo available at my job is the kind that is not pre-cooked, comes in an artificial (probably plastic) casing tied with metal that you have to take off before using. What would Mexico ERA say is the best way to cook it? Whole, ground, etc? Cook as-needed, cook in bulk then refrigerate, etc?
Food question #2: There's a tienda Mexicana next to my job that I want to frequent. What would you say are essential items/brands I should buy to add an authentic Mexico twist to anything I might make at home on a budget?
Also: Horchata is GOAT
Its a cultural thing. My mom would not want me to visit Mexico after Trump was elected as she was afraid they would not let me back into the country for x or y reasons. They really like to overblow circumstances around.
Not OP but am also Mexican plus lived there for 5 years finishing up middle and high school.
They have no standard for those topes, construction workers just make those things however they see fit and done lol

Love Mariachi! It's the flavor of my native state. Check out some songs by Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan.

It is true that in the last few weeks the amount of murders have risen dramatically. This could be related to a change in the organized crime that exists in the city. But normally, depending on where you would stay, it's quite safe.
Have not forgotten about this! Is just that I'am a tragically unhip mexican. Asked friends and family on Facebook for recomendations for modern good stuff. Will answer later with findings.
Chorizo usually comes in pig intestine not plastic. It's edible. You can remove it if you want to make the chorizo break down easier while cooking. I usually remove it if's it's fresh chorizo since it just slides off but leave it on dried chorizo since it can be a pain to remove sometimes. If it has those metal things then it might me plastic, idk since i don't buy packaged chorizo. I highly recommend avoiding any pre packaged stuff if possible. It's usually all fat and breaks down too much imo. You can cook it how ever you like, you can ground it, break it into chunks and let it fall apart as it's cooking, cook whole like hotdogs (this is amazing on a grill during the summer by the way), etc. Cook what you need imo but understand that chorizo dries over time so maybe don't leave it for too long otherwise you might just throw it out if you don't like dried chorizo. You can buy fresh, dry, semi dry, etc. chorizo in stores if you let the meat person know.
Do girls still celebrate their quinceañera? I occasionally see a whole gaggle of teenage girls in what appears poofy wedding dresses here in California, and am shocked that this is still a thing. Does anyone else get kind of creeped out that parents basically are saying that their young daughter is a woman at 15?
I don't mean any offense, and am trying to understand the culture.

Yes they do. Tough I know some parents that have the financial resources for that kind of party sometimes ask their daughters if they want the party, or use the money it would cost for a single gift.
It does not bring any benefit to Mexico. Illegal inmigration will continue to happen because cheap labor will never be rejected in the US, and will find a way to happen no matter the restrictions.
exactly what I thought, its stupid how they think it will actually take the "problem" away.
You guys made me notice that even if I've lived in Mexico for like 25 years, I know nothing about the music, futbol, television, or pretty much anything produced by Mexicans that isn't the glorious food.
and I'm 100% okay with that, I only need our glorious food.

We think the US will be wasting their money because the wall will not stop illegal immigration, and it definitely will not stop drug traffic.
If it gets made it will only be a monument to xenophobia and a huge waste of resources.
I love tequila and am embarrassed to admit that my favorite ever is actually a Jose Cuervo special edition - the family reserve. I guess they make it to bolster their reputation - like Ford making the GT cars. But it's stunning. Sweet, light, dances on the tongue.

Thanks I actually have this bottle, my wife brought back when she went down south. I have yet to open it.
Oh, I forgot all about the cost. A hasty internet search says that it can cost from $5,000 to $20,000. Multiply that for each daughter. Holy shit. I don't know if El Salvadorians don't celebrate quinceañera, but none of my cousins had one.
The ones you can buy unbranded in Tequila or Arandas from small or family owned destilerías. Those are the best I've ever tasted.

Not only that. A new fad started a few years ago. Cincoañeras. I'm not joking (I wish I was).
Dude, I don't like salsa. My friends loot at me like I've another head over my shoulders :(
SI
Edit: Then again, I do not enjoy avocado, so I'm pretty sure I'm also not the best mexican.
