Your one-stop shop for all things Latin/Hispanic/Mexican
As I walked back this morning from casting my vote to choose my next mayor, I noticed a store I had never seen before in my neighbhorhood. It’s not your regular New York City deli but it’s called “El changarrito de la Viagra” and it features tacos, burritos, quesadillas and whatnot.
That name, though …

Say what you will about Mexico and Mexicans, my people are the most creative and shit.
Marketing and advertising executives would be well advised to use the advertising tactics of Mr. Miguel Fong, some dude I don’t know but who teaches English in Mexico.
If you are bilingual, you will now have appreciated the power of the above ad. But here’s a quick translation for my beloved monolingual followers:

He responds to the name “Unforgettable”
If you cannot read this name, it is because its in English. Contact me so you can learn!
Nice job Mr. Fong, I wish other language institutions would follow your lead.

Remember the Absolut brouhaha?
Remember the Alamo?
Well, none of those contentious binational confrontations would ever come close to what’s happening these days after U.S. President Donald Trump decided to rename the Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America.
His idea, though controversial, has become a boon for meme creators, much to this blogger’s delight…
Three Kings Day – better known as Día de Reyes in Spanish-speaking countries – is celebrated on Jan. 6 to honor the Three Wise Men (Los tres reyes magos) who went through great lenghts to visit baby Jesus and bring tons of presents to celebrate his birth.
In Mexico – and a few other countries – the festivity includes the cutting of a special, oval-shaped cake known as the rosca de reyes, which comes filled with tiny plastic dolls symbolizing the hiding of the infant Jesus from King Herod’s troops. But because this is 2025 and Star Wars has become part of our daily lives, some very creative Mexicans are making Baby Yodas for you to stuff your rosca with instead.
Move over, Reyes Magos, here come los Magos Reyes!

I don’t know about you, I just think it’s adorbs!
Behold the Shalom Amigos Jewish Mexican Hanukkah Shirt, a fine product to kick off your 2024 Hanukkah celebrations, which this year begins on Christmas Day, which has only happened four times since 1900, so we’re calling it Chrismukkah.
It’s still on sale and it can be yours for $16.27 if you hurry! That way you can use the precious money saved on some Mexican sugnanivot or a few Shalom tortillas.
Happy Hanukkah to all my amigos who celebrate!
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say these tacos will make your belly explode … or something.

A coupole of years ago, when J.D. Vance was running for Senate, he released an advertisement asking Ohio voters if they were racists and/or if they “hate Mexicans.”

Soon after making its debut across social media, the 30-second spot had amassed more than 300,000 views on Twitter. And this blogger is pretty sure it had to do with Mexicans like herself jumpin in to troll him like only Mexicans can.
Below, some of my fave reactions (starting with yours truly, of course!)

I don’t know much about Univeritas or it’s academic curriculum, but judging from its outdoor advertising, they’re not kidding when they say they’re going to transform people’s life.
Was walking around La Roma this afternoon and bumped into the perfect slogan which gave me some joy after a not-so-great Saturday in the city.
Life & tacos van con todo is my new motto…

The Mexicans have done it again, my friends.
Not content with bringing us the Conchanclas, the Conchamacos and the Conchatépetl, Mexican bakers are at it again.
Meet the Conchatrina, a special Day of the Dead-themed concha that mixes our beloved pan de muerto with the now world-famous Mexican skulls known as catrinas.
The chef’s name if Alfonso Domínguez and he runs a bakery in Tetelpa, Morelos, and I cannot wait to get there!
