For Mexico, if you MUST do tortilla (which apparently is a weak choice), at least get it right and say “corn” tortilla, which actually is Mexican, unlike *flour*, which, don’t get me wrong, I love and can’t live without as much as the air I breathe, but I’m pretty sure are an American invention. By the way, I’d like to give a Tex-Mex SHOUT OUT to my girl la FAJITA, my boy el TAMAL, and all the ladies favorito, el CHORIZO, who were all noticably absent from this discussion.

silly foolz, that doesn’t include all the latin american cuisine. Pretty mainstream. Lame. Like Rachael Ray going on a tour of latin america. Plus, a lot of the food mentioned is just the country’s version of it. For example, empanadas, salte~nas, pasteles….pretty similar. I refuse to vote. Latino cuisine period is the best. Just represents our caldo, caldoza, mofongo, mixture of origins and influences. ay ay, I love/hate you Guanabee.

mmmm, menudo! who the hell said that tortillas represent mexico.

i once had menudo in mcallen, tx that still had animal hair on the hoof. i ate it anyway, ignoring the screams of my white midwestern friends.

I agree with Fredo…
