Hot chocolate is not a native drink. Native mexicans used to make mix chocolate and chile to make the drink, it was very spicy, unlike the sweetened hot chocolate we drink nowadays. Cacao (not cocoa) beans were also used to produce alcoholic beverages.

Cacao beans were often used as some kind of currency. It was a luxury item.

Answer 6

I can give you a few things that are not on wikipedia and they are some traditional foods.

"Ceviche" is an excellent fish soup  and usually served chilled .

"Pozole is an excellent hot soup made with corn and can be in a few colours green (Verde) is my favourite

Drinks are Tequila and Mezcal

Chocomilk is in some restaurants but in all supermarkets.

Chicken with "Mole" is an excellent.

I am making myself hungry gotta go eat Bye

Answer 7

look up this information on wikipedia or google it, you can find a lot of information on-line.

Answer 8

Actually I was reading some of the answers and someone said that Mexicans eat burritos.  We don't.  Just like the fortune cookie, burritos were made in the US and just because it uses "Mexican" ingredants it's not Mexican.  The fortune cookie was made here not in China.  But that's beside the point, just go online for better information.
