      I am so tired of people doing this. First of all do they not know how many Mexicans live in the Midwest? This ha ha let me incorrectly stereotype an entire region for my pals stuff is irritating.

          A quarter of my high school graduating class was from Mexico. I'm from Illinois.

          I feel like the vast majority of Americans have zero idea Illinois is one of the largest receiving states for Mexican immigrants. It blew my mind when I discovered this in my late 20s.

          As a native Illinoisan, /I/ didn’t know that until college. Growing up in rural IL is vastly dif from Chicago. I can count on 2 hands the POC in my entire high school. That said, any big city here will have good tacos made by Mexican immigrants & Spanish written info everywhere.

          The worst "Mexican" food I've ever had was in Indiana. I live in Indiana. Have done so for twelve years. I have seen stuff similar to this joke image. The bigger cities are, like anywhere, usually better. But the smaller towns? Folks. No.

          Also great tacos in my house, a Mexican cook and scholar of food living in St. Louis (not too mention the Mexican district here). 🇲🇽
