Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Adding, that much "Mexican food" in the US is 1) often Central American 2) more aptly described "look how nicely immigrant culture has stirred into our melting pot" food.

          Not really. It's mostly Latin American food, not Central American food. The food is almost perfectly directly proportional to country population size and historical immigration flows. There are many more Mexicans and South Americans in the US than Central Americans. #Latino

          ... like bbq as distinctly Argentine or Brazilian. And Cuban often gets billed as such.

          back in Cleveland, our Pierogies were way better than in Pittsburgh, but last couple of visits, no Pierogies. You gotta now head to Pittsburgh for them. Highly recommend a pupusa though, so yummy.

          It's cheap eats compared to some other cuisines. Can get a decent meal at Espita Mezcaleria for $20-30 w/o alcohol; for vegans/vegetarians it can be easy to find something to eat. Lot of places to choose from. But mostly these bigots are cheap bastards.
