I love the food especially burritos!!!
The most amazing aspect in their culture that I love so much, is one the food. Great varieties such as, Nachos, Burritos, Salsa. I'm drooling over this now. I also like the wrestling and boxing in the country. So passionate about it. To Rey Mysterio and to Juan Manuel Marquez. Mexico is just really that amazing.
The inspiration for Taco Bell. Without Mexican food and Taco Bell, who knows where we'd be.
The foods are amazing. Pretty good I presume. Also Lucha Libre
I love how their culture celebrates those who have passed away and remembers the good times rather than focusing on the sad aspects of death.
the art of this game, the skulls and the music are so cool, they get me up and happy.
The great food and the festivities of Cinco de Mayo.
Their unique art style is amazing. Have a good weekend everyone!
Mexican culture has a lot of great things going for it, but if I had to choose one thing, I would definitely have to pick the kindness of their people. Sure, they make delicious food, mariachis are awesome, their festivities are incredibly unique and even their soccer is very enjoyable... but those are just great bonuses really. Haha.
Food & music. What more do you need?
the festive music, cause it makes you want to watch wrestling.
I love the food and the wrestlers! Nothing is better than a taco!
Chupacabras. I'm a huge fan of mythical creatures, and the concept of these things is amazing. Livestock mutilation is a common theme among monsters, but a scaly-dog like creature that sucks blood from goats? That's a breath of fresh air from all the dragons and half-man-half-animals out there.
Their history - As a collective they've had a very difficult history rife with adversity, and through this strife they have formed a unique culture a mezcla (combination en espanol) of indigenous and Spanish (like the Spaniards) cultures. Also, they have tasty food, that's just the icing on proverbial cake of Mexican culture.
Those eggs were a lie, Esqueleto. A LIE! They give me no eagle powers! The give me no nutrients!
I like sombrero's, because they make scowling so much better.

I would love a Guacamelee code :D
What I love about Mexican culture is Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. It's nice to see a culture that doesn't view death in such a negative way.
