Bars in mexico?

Question

i remember going to a bar with my uncle a couple years ago and when we ordered our drinks they brought out food for us i remember eating some sort of fish some soup and tostadas i think?the food was good. i was wondering if they do this at every bar in mexico?

Answer 1

no not every bar does it...sometimes they give chips n salsa or they give peanuts..depends on what type of bar u go to...meaning the nicer ones or the real ghetto bars...

Answer 2

It seems to be a Mexican tradition and they are called, in this case "Botanas" it means snacks or appetizers.

Most bars away from the expensive places like Cancun do serve them up.

They can be all sorts of things too numerous to mention and are as common as the limes they serve you with your cerveza.

Good question.

P.S. the soup you were referring to sound like "Ceviche"

If it was hot , then sounds like"Pozole" another excellent soup and usually served with a great botana

Answer 3

No...but the tequila's fantastic
