Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!
You might have already noticed that #foodphotography contest hosted by 
Today, however, I will make a little exception as I would like to show you some of the Mexican dishes we had the privilege to enjoy when we lived in this beautiful Central American country. Mexican cuisine is popular all over the world and there are dozens (if not hundreds) of different dishes that the Mexicans enjoy preparing and eating.
I would say my favorite Mexican food was burrito but sadly, I somehow forgot to capture this iconic Mexican dish so I am going to show you something else today.
These are tacos, a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling that can include anything from pork, chicken, beef, seafood, vegetables, cheese etc.
Usually eaten just with hands, tacos are typically garnished with hot sauce, chili pepper, guacamole, avocado, coriander and veggies such as onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce. It is just delicious!
These are tostadas. Tostadas are similar to tacos but the tortillas used for tostadas are usually a bit bigger and they are deep fried. You can have your tostada filled with pretty much anything. This one included salmon...
...and this one came with shrimp fritters. They were both absolutely fantastic! :)
Now when it comes to Mexican beer, Corona is by far the most common association but there are actually many other Mexican beer brands you can choose from. Local people usually prefer brands like these (Sol and Dos Equis) to Corona that is generally considered "the touristy beer" :)
I also drank a lot of these...
...and even tried this banana liquer called Sisi :D Not that bad but it was incredibly sweet!
What is your favorite Mexican dish or drink? Let me know in the comments :)
