You know when people ask you to pick one cuisine you would eat for the rest of your life if you had to? Well, I'm not sure about you, but my answer every time is Mexican food. Tacos can do no wrong, burritos have the power to transport your tastebuds to heaven, tamales are just pure perfection, nachos leave me speechless, and washing that all down with horchata? Whoops, just got drool on my keyboard!
