Ah, Mexican food. Also known as God's gift to everything and everyone. I can honestly say that there is no better feeling in this world than coming home from a long day, turning on Netflix, and putting your feet up with a reheated fajita burrito. Let me get one thing clear... I am extremely white. Like Macklemore white. But I was raised in a house where, for some reason, burritos were on the menu three nights a week and my dad practically drinks homemade hot sauce made out of habaneros and vinegar, so I have a deep appreciation for all things Mex. If you're anything like me, you don't just recognize the following situations, you live and breathe them.

1. When the waiter asks if you want both hot and mild salsa, you give them this look

"Do I look like I don't like it hot? Hmm?"

2. And when you eat said hot salsa, your white-bread friends act impressed/scared.

3. Christmas is your favorite time of year, because that's when the Catholic churches sell tamales by the dozen.

The greatest present of them all!

4. You get mildly annoyed when people call Taco Bell "real Mexican food."

5. But that doesn't mean you aren't ALWAYS down to go.

6. If you see a Q'doba, Chipotle, or Costa Vida, you have an actual heart attack.

7. All girls' nights, birthday parties, and moms'/dads' weekends mean going to Casa Lopez, Paddy's Kitchen, or something similar if you have anything to do about it.

Bring on the chimichangas.

8. One basket of chips and salsa IS. NOT. ENOUGH.

Bitch, please.

9. A super burrito is not even a challenge for you

10. It's pronounced case-a-dee-a not kway-so-dill-uh.

"Tor TILL a" is wrong too, FYI.

11. Also, please stop saying Faj-eye-ta

It only kind of sounds like vagina. And it stopped being funny in third grade. Fajitas are serious business. Show some respect.

12. I KNOW GUACAMOLE IS EXTRA!

$2.00 to feed my drug addiction is a very good deal, comparatively.

13. You've been to some pretty sketchy taco trailers for the good shit.

#authentic #realdeal

14. But what you get there is like crack. Tacos. Not actual crack.

If you get actual crack you probably went to the wrong trailer. Good luck with that.

15. Street tacos are love. Street tacos are life.

Carne asada. Onions. Cilantro. Lime. Perfection.

16. You've always wished that Bueno Nacho from Kim Possible was a real place.

Naco = Nachos in a taco and it sounds like heaven.

17. What's better than Better-Than-Sex-Cake? Churros and deep fried ice cream.

Ugh, don't get me started.

18. Sometimes spicy Mexican food makes you sick. But you eat it anyway.

It's so worth it. Other people are just weak.

19. Because in the end, Mexican food is the best thing in the world. And no one can tell you otherwise.
