Your one-stop shop for all things Latin/Hispanic/Mexican
I am not really a fan of mucus or mucus-related marketing, but this disgusting creature has earned a spot on this venerable blog, mostly because of his apparent love of tacos.
Watch mucus as he gets ready for Taco Tuesday only to be put down by some white guy armed with 12-hour Mucinex.
It ain’t happening, moco, so you’d better keep your sombrero for some other time. Cinco de mayo, perhaps?

I mean… Excuse-me? ¿Cómo dijo?
Awwww, Mexicans: How can anybody not like us?
For the many readers of this blog who have not asked: I’m going to spend the long weekend helping this nice lady teach her turkey behave like a civilized creature -once and for all.
If unsuccessful, we’re just going to roast the thing, dip it in mole sauce and make ourselves a delicious dinner, which I’m sure will make PETA enthusiasts cringe.
Happy Thanksgiving! [or, as my Caribbean neighbors would say: Happy Sansgivin’]
I might be Mexican, but when I think of the magical kingdom of Disneyland, the last thing that comes to mind is a “street style” elote con chile *and* a colorful piñata/sarape background.
How’s that for cultural appropriation?
Really, Whole Foods? Kaleamole? You have got to be kidding me.
Where’s the Mexican-jumping-out-window emoji when you need it?
And just when I thought marketers had ran out of ridiculous, Hispanic-themed “foodstuffs,” corporate America is proud to introduce the Creme-filled OREO Churros, which according to a very detailed and unnecessary long press release, have “a crispy exterior, warm soft interior and real OREO cookie pieces in every bite.”
The “innovative snack” (LOL) will be sold nationwide starting immediately.
I cannot wait to… pass on these things.

Sunday Oct. 4 is National Taco Day in the U.S. (don’t ask) and everyone is really excited.
And by everyone I mean everyone.
Take the Augusta Police Department in Maine, that will be holding a taco eating contest starting at 3 p.m.
According to the Augusta, Main Facebook page, the first eater to finish a ‘Taco Gigante’ will earn $250 donation to the charity of their choice. The event will take place at Margaritas Augusta –naturally.
Now…. as this blog went to press (LOL) this blogger had no idea where Augusta, Maine was, nor why the Police Department there is holding a Taco Gigante eating contest in Margaritas Augusta.
However, this thing must be so important that the local media is hyping the event, and even writing an article that starts with ¡OLE!… Because, as everybody knows, if it has to do with tacos and margaritas, it might have something to do with the Spaniards.
Move over Texican Whopper.
The folks at Carl’s Junior have come up with yet another Tex-Mex concoction, the Tex Mex Bacon Thickburger, featuring “fire-roasted peppers and onions, thick-cut bacon, Pepper Jack Cheese, and Santa Fe Sauce on a Fresh Baked Bun.”
But which aspect of this sandwich is more appealing to you? The Tex or Mex?
Well, let’s watch Team Mexico and Team U.S.A. try to settle this through a volleyball match on the border and with lots of butt slapping, shall we?

I don’t know nothing about the people behind the award-winning East Side Sushi. But I’m sure this movie will be a real eye-opener for most, especially Americans and other non-Mexicans who might think my people (i.e. The Mexicans) are only good at rolling two things: joints and tacos.
Check out the trailer for East Side Sushi, about a Mexican woman who really really wants to become a sushi chef. So much so that she even practices by rolling some sticky rice inside a chile poblano.
We now know many more things about Donald Trump (aka El Trumpo) than we ever needed to know. But one thing is still not clear. Does the billionaire like frijoles?
We might soon find out.
Dallas-based Pizza Patrón will be asking this question to Mr. Trump during his Dallas visit scheduled for Monday, Sept. 14, in which he will also be invited to pick up a Pizza Frijolera at a nearby restaurant.
Should Mr. Trump decide to comply, he’ll be in for a real treat:
According to Pizza Patrón officials, local residents are being asked to write a special message on the box that will contain El Trumpo’s warm and delicious bean-based pizza (Frijolera.)
And because this blogger can’t wait to see such a display of love & warmth, she is hereby joining the cause and asking El Trumpo to please comply and pay a visit to Pizza Patrón. Heck! They even accept pesos!
