If your family enjoys spicy food, you should plan a visit to a nearby Mexican restaurant. According to USA Today, 10% of all U.S. restaurants offer Mexican foods as their main or alternate fare. The spiciness and appealing blend of Mexican flavor appear to intrigue and attract American diners. However, it may be more than delicious food that attracts family diners to Mexican restaurants.
Many Mexican restaurants have embraced the influx of families wanting to sample and enjoy several dishes. With that in mind, check for ads for Mexican places with family-style dining. Restaurants with this style of dining will sometimes offer Mexican food specials. For example, there may be a place where each family member could order a small entrée and then share a big plate of nachos.
Families who enjoy culinary adventures may find their next challenge in trying unusual Mexican food. For example, according to Practical Wanderlust, you might be brave enough to try cabrito – or, barbecued goat. If you want to indulge your inner adventurer, you could try samples (ant larvae), or chapulines (grasshoppers.) You’ll probably have to try an authentic Mexican restaurant to get the more unusual fare.
