Ever wondered how to make a Dominican quesadilla? Easy!
Just prepare a gringo quesadilla (flour tortillas, yellow/orange plastic-y cheese and pico de gallo) and serve with a side of French fries; something you think is “chipotle sauce,” and a 12 oz. small-caps “pepsi.”
All this for only $10.99! … Take that, New York Times quesadilla!
Move over tamales en bolsita, here come the esquites en bolsita, or as I like to call them, “The Esquites Pouch.”
These babies are also from La Costeña and can be found in your local Mexican supermarket for only $30 pesitos. Because nothing is sacred anymore.

It is official: Simon Leviev (aka Yehuda Hayut and the Tinder Swindler, has been immortalized in the form of a piñata thanks to the folks of famed Piñatería Ramírez in northern Mexico.
The Tinder Swindler piñata comes with –what else?– a bunch of credit cards on his left hand, and a romantic bouquet of roses on his right. Oh, and look at those shoes!
In case you’re wondering, being immortalized in the shape of a piñata is as prestigious as having been inducted into the Mexican historical hall of fame.

… Because this is the only heart-shaped thing I could possibly care about.
Football Americano? Nah…
I’ve never been fond of this so-called sport and was not going to watch it this year either, but…
I just learned that San Antonio’s renowned mini mariachi singer, Mateo López, is the star of one of the ads.
According to KSAT, the seven-year-old makes a brief appeareance in Smith’s minute-long commercial promoting the premiere of the revamped “Bel-Air,” a spinoff series from “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”
So, yup, babies, I’ll be watching!
Just look at him! 😍

Is your four-legged best friend mad about tacos?
Worry not! Canine Carry Outs has exactly what you’re looking for. I give you Taco Minis, “a soft and chewy dog snack with the look and taste of miniature beef tacos.”
Now, I shouldn’t get into the whole specifics about what a “taco” actually entails, but the creators of this taco-treat-canine-wonder assure me these dog treats are “the perfect size and texture for treating as part of a balanced diet.”
So what are you waiting for? Get your perro some of these and wait for it to start barking in Mexican!

If you’re not following the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, you might want to reconsider: On Monday, Feb. 7, a Made-in-Mexico Ice Skating God clad in a Mariachi suit made his Olympic debut.
Donovan Carrillo, the 22-year-old Guadalajara native, says he started figure skating to impress a girl he liked.
I don’t know about you, but this girl is already impressed!
I was going to buy an ad to promote my blog at this year’s Super Bowl. Alas, NBC has sold out all of its inventory for the Big Game, some at record prices of $7 million.
Oh well… I might give it a try again next year.
In the meantime, here’s Telemundo’s :30-second Super Bowl spot featuring Andrés Cantor teaching people across the U.S. how to do his signature ¡GOOOOOOOOL!
The spot is to promote the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and is slated to run during the broadcast of Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, Feb. 13.
While this blogger can’t stand American Football, she’ll be watching, mostly to bring you all the Latin/Hispanic/Mexican/Hispanic highlights of the excruciatingly boring event.
(Oh, also to check on how the Avocados From Mexico people plan to torture us this year.)
Watch Telemundo’s Super Bowl spot below:
Remember the Baby Yoda Rosca de Reyes? Well, it was only a matter of time until a very creative Mexican entrepreneur came up with the February-Candelaria Tamalorian sequel.
Let me explain. Many of you might not know that Candlemas (i.e. El Día de la Candelaria) is celebrated each February in Mexico by dressing up Baby Jesus and eating tamales like there is no tomorrow. Said tamales (mind you) are supposed to be provided by the same person who got the plastic Baby Jesus in their rosca on January 6.
I know, it’s … complicated, but bear with me.
The point I’m trying to make is that there is a new Star Wars-themed Rosca-Candelaria kid in town: Meet the Tamalorian, the galactic offspring of Baby Yoda Rosca de Reyes, inspired in your favorite Mandalorian character.
These beauties are the creation of Super Roscas, a Mexico City pastry shop and come in several flavors: Baby, Chuby, Oscuro, Arturo and Tamalorian.
