Hispanic population has skyrocketed (largest racial minority now), tortilla chips are beating out potato chip sales, and more people these days are eating Mexican. Does this surprise you?


Italian food has been dethroned. Mexican is #1, Italian now #2, and Chinese is #3.

Was Italian really number 1? I don't know anyone who would pick that over Mexican or Chinese. Couldn't even tell you the last time I went to an Italian restaurant.

One of my meal prep items is birria style blade roast served over rice and beans, with lime, onions, and cilantro on top. So there's my anecdotal evidence it's true.

And considering how carb adverse a lot of people are now, it doesn't surprise me Italian food lost the top spot. (Yes, I'm aware Italian food consists of more than pasta, but for north Americans it's pretty synonymous).

I love both styles. I grew up going to those restaurants where most entrees were some meat wrapped in a tortilla covered in Queso with rice and refried beans and unlimited salsa.

After moving to a larger city with more authentic food, Al Pastor tacos have surpassed those non authentic restaurants by far. Place near my house is a Mexican market/resturant that's open 24/7. Get me three AL pastor tacos with extra onions and cilantro with a papusa on the side.

Theyre obviously combining Mexican inspired food in there too. Do you guys really think authentic Italian cuisine was winning before without the help of our version of pizza?

Mexican food, especially authentic Mexican food, has more misses that Italian or basic American cuisine to me. If we were talking about trying out an unknown Mexican restaurant versus an unknown American fare or Italian restaurant/pizzeria, Id go with the latter options.

But hot damn, good Mexican is the best.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that it does include texmex style food. Any "taco" for instance.

I thought only white people liked mexican food... at least the authentic kind like taco bell and chili

Doubt rise in hispanic population has anything to do with it. I've grown up with home cooked rice based dishes and the last thing I want to eat when going out is more of the same

This. Makes me roll my eyes to the stuff they sell and advertise as Mexican food. The real stuff is miles better, shame most restaurants don't try to be authentic.

imo it has literally nothing to do with population as it's just more tex mex chains offering cheaper imitations of actual Mexican cuisine in the country.

Otherwise where the fucks my Puerto Rican fast food chain offering rice and pork + plantains? Or the buttery af Cuban sandwich delis? Or Peruvian paella spots? I mean come on.

This.

Real, unadulterated Mexican food is delicious, especially barbacoa.

Tex-Mex and Americanized Mexican food is nasty, cheese-ladened grease-bombs.

Also, Panamanian breakfasts are really amazing. I love how steak is their main breakfast meat; instead of ham, sausage, and bacon.
