Why is it that Mexican food sold in the us is pressukavly not the same as the Mexican equivalent?

Are recipes not the same anywhere?

there are as many kinds of mexican food as there are provinces in Mexico is why and if you were to see what is real mexican food you wouldnt even recognize it as such

also real mexican food in general in my opinion just isnt all that great

its like filipino food....an acquired taste

American Mexican food just is more popular and more palatable for a larger audience

the kind of audience that even thinks Indian food is exotic, the Trump supporter type demographic

@orioninthenight To be exotic means to "originate in or be characteristic of a distant foreign country". And so, if you live in a western nation, and eat food from India, then by definition the indian food is is "exotic". But I wouldn't expect someone whose understanding is nothing more than "hur hur trump supporters" to bother with objective definitions or understandings.

@orioninthenight I can't find the correlation between one thing and the other but oh okay. Also yeah I don't find it that interesting, specially if you don't like spicy greasy food, hehehe

if mexican food from a mexican restaurant owned/operated by mexicans using mexican ingredients isn't mexican food, then what is it? 🤔

Same reason Chinese American food is not the same as Chinese foods served in China. Restaurants have "fixed" the flavors so that more Americans will like them.

Mexican food in boxes and frozen, etc... at stores cannot compare to the real thing.
I use to attend some Mexican celebrations and the authentic foods they made themselves were so good
compared to cheap crap many restaurants and stores sell.
