Answer 3

The national seal which is on the back of all Mexican coins: An eagle posed on a prickly pear cactus eating a serpent. Mexicans are very proud of this symbol, which although it seems to be contrived from European symbolism and adapted to the terrain, supposedly goes back to Aztec times and recounts the story of the omen that told them to settle in the Mexico Valley.

The "charro" hat, the wide brimmed hat that you might have seen mariachis use. this is the "sombrero" that the Mexican cowboy " charro" uses.

the mariachi band.

Tequila, the national drink.

A soccer ball, the national pastime.

People associate piñatas with Mexico, but the piñata was not invented here. I am not sure how many Mexicans would actually consider the piñata a cultural symbol.
