Restaurants > Mexican / Southwestern
Mexican cuisine is a style of food that originated in Mexico with a considerable Spanish influence. Mexican cuisine is known for its varied flavors, colorful decoration, and variety of spices. Mexican cuisine is milder in taste than Tex-Mex
cuisine, which is known for using hotter peppers for spiciness. "Tex-Mex" is a term used to describe a regional American cuisine that blends food products available in the United States and the culinary creations of Mexican-Americans influenced by the
cuisines of Mexico. The cuisine has spread from border states such as Texas and those in the Southwestern United States to the rest of the country. In some places, particularly outside of Texas, "Tex-Mex" is used to describe a localized version of Mexican
cuisine. It is common for all of these foods to be referred to as "Mexican food" in Texas, parts of the United States, and some other countries. In other ways it is Southern cooking using the commodities from Mexican culture. In many parts of the U.S.
outside Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, the term is synonymous with Southwestern cuisine. Two such foods include the taco and the burrito.
