It's all the same....meat (beef [shredded or ground], chicken, mariscos [seafood mainly shrimp or tilapia]), freijoles (refried beans), rice, and a tortilla either hard or soft.

If I was just starting out with mexican food I'd try either a Quesadilla or Enchiladas.


A Quesadilla is basically the mexican version of a grilled cheese sandwich, though it's usually more than just cheese.....you have the choice of beef, chicken, shrimp along with some peppers, onions, and mushrooms

Enchiladas are beef, chicken, cheese, or beans rolled up and covered in enchilada sauce which isn't hot but flavorful and they are usually served with rice and beans.



If you go to the right place you can get good fish tacos.....



Pollo Fundido is good as well



And if you use a hot sauce use Cholula, it is the best!
