conquistadores arrived in Aztec,the people's diet consisted mostly of corn-based food with chilies and herbs, usually with beans and tomatoes. The conquistadores combined rice, beef, pork, chicken, wine, and garlic with the native foods of Mexico, including chocolate, maize, tomato, avocado, guava, papaya, pineapple,fish and turkey.Their happens to be a big difference between truly authentic Mexican food, and "Tex Mex" (Texan-Mexican) cuisine. Mexican cuisine combines with the cuisine of the southwest United States to form Cal-Mex and Tex-Mex cuisine.
While Mexican Restaurants can be found in almost any town throughout the United States, and in many cities around the world, restaurants outside the American Southwest often have nontraditional ingredients. Although we as americans enjoy the food just as mch if not more;Mexican foods such as Quesadillas have been compomised woth american style products which is ntot the way that they were intended to be made.Such as grated American-style cheese, "nacho" cheese or tomato-based sauce substitutes for Mexican chile-based sauces.

I agree with you, the food that is traditional to its country is altered a lot when t arrives t another, like the U.s for instance. Just like Mexican food,Colmombian cusine is changed greaty. Food marketers from the States begin to create statistics that show what the people eat and buy and start to make their own versions of the food so that way they recieve nore income. It is ALL marketing, but well something is something, and having our food from back home sold here is a plus.
I am in love with Mexican food, every time my parents ask me where I want to go out to eat I always give them the same answer Mexican, I just can’t get enough of it, it’s delicious. I must confess that out of all the food I' have tried there is nothing that can beat it just yet. I'm glad we have compromised with American style products to come out with a better result.
