Authentic Mexican Restaurants

Decent Essays
The authentic Mexican restaurants are different from American restaurants even though they have some similarities. An example of a product used is the music in the background you listen to when you are eating your meal. The music at the restaurants are usually based on the culture of the restaurant. It is playing the music so you get exposed to the culture while you eat that culture’s cuisine. An example is if you were going to a Mexican restaurant you will hear Mexican music but if you got to an American restaurant you will hear American music.

They go so they can spend time with each other because in both cultures they understand …show more content…
Also, Mexican food is one of my favorites. Listening to soothing music at the restaurant was awesome because I got exposed to Mexican music makinging me understand the culture a little more. The music was soft, meaning it was not rap, it was more like soft pop. I am starting to think I like Mexican music better than American music because of how smooth and flowy the music is. Mexican music now is my favorite type of music. Another thing I enjoyed was the mouthwatering food. At first when Mrs.Germundson(spanish teacher) said we can’t have tacos type foods, I was sad because I always get tacos despite the fact I didn’t know any other type of Mexican food. So when I was looking at the menu an awesome waiter helped me pick out my dish for lunch. He said that the Taquitos Mexicanos is an authentic dish. It ended up being amazing. Also, the cultural decorations were so beautiful from the guitar to the sparkly sombreros. My favorite decoration was the guitar. The guitar was black with skull paintings on it. The guitar was so detailed , yet it was incredible. When I asked the waiter Alberto who was from Mexico he told me that it was a special guitar Mexican people use to play during the Day of Dead to honor their dead ones. I thought it was so cool that they play music to honor their loved ones. Finally, spending time with your family is the best because you

    History does not always repeat itself, but on numerous occasions, it comes very close. If any evidence is necessary for one to believe the concept of repetitive history, look no further than past anti-Chinese immigration sentiments and current anti-Mexican immigration sentiments in America. Moreover, since food and culture are inextricably intertwined, the stereotypes many Americans have for immigrants is reflected in how Americans treat and perceive immigrants’ cultural cuisine. As stated in the film The Search for General Tso, authentic Chinese food was considered scary and unappealing when Chinese-American relations were tense, but when positive diplomacy was reinstated, the cuisine became popular again. Currently, however, Mexican-American relations are strained and Mexican food is facing the consequences.…

    I can still remember the first day of school. Not the normal first day of school when your mom guides you to your kindergarten classroom, but the first day of school in America. A wave of terror overcame every nerve in my body and my face tensed up as I strutted across the front of my English class. At the time, I was at El Paso Community College and more nervous and anxious now than I was a few months ago when my family first made the move from Juarez, Mexico, to El Paso. I wasn’t completely new to the area or the American way of living since I was born in El Paso, but moved to Mexico shortly after birth.…
