Talavera Design Research Paper

There are so much delicious foods in my heritage culture Mexico. Like there are tacos that me and my family eat so often. We mostly eat them on Tuesdays. I think? There are also tamales we eat but we only eat the beef kind. The last food is really important to me it's quesadillas because my family and I eat it 3 times a week cause it’s so delicious. The other thing that connects to me is activities that we do.

A couple years ago, on Cinco De Mayo, we had a soccer game. We went to the game and afterwards Taylor’s family and my family wanted to go out to eat. Because it was Cinco De Mayo, we decided to go to La Mesa, a

From January 20 to 23, I went to Santa Fe and San Ildefonso in New Mexico with Dr. Laughlin and my classmates. I was totally surprised by the architecture of the housing and the rich collection of Native American cultures. I expected to see traditional suburbs but instead I found almost everyone has built houses resembling traditional adobe homes which I had never seen. Houses, businesses, government buildings including museums are almost built in this style. The colors seem to blend in with the desert. One of the most exciting events I attended in New Mexico was the museum presentation of the Zuni tribe. Although we actually did not meet the Zuni tribe, we learned a lot about them because Dawn Kaufmann who is a guide at the Museum of

The party scene was where all the Mexican culture is at. I remember the banquet hall being decorated with sombreros and folklorico dresses used for dancing. The tables were decorated with vivid colors including orange, blue, green, and pink. All these bright colors represent how my culture is very bright

Within the first few paragraphs of this section Arellano not only describes the setting of his work he also jumps right into the main topic that he will be discussing, Mexican food. Arellano coming from Hispanic heritage himself grew up eating and loving Mexican food. So when he traveled to South Dakota in the middle of the United States, he was greatly surprised to find out that google maps found four Mexican restaurants in one city. But he was even more surprised to find how many locals enjoyed these restaurants and how Americanized the food was. He described his astonishment when he tried his first Potato Oles from fast food giant Taco Johns. They were “Stuffed into a breakfast burrito, nacho cheese sauce slowing oozing out from the bottom of the flour tortilla. There is nothing remotely Mexican about Potato Oles-not even the quasi-Spanish name.” And it's with this creative and insightful description that we learn that the author really knows his stuff when it comes to true Mexican cuisine.

Every culture has their own unique and distinguishing characteristics. One’s cultural identity defines who they are as an individual, group, and community. Their cultural identity may be reflected in numerous ways such as: language, communication styles, religion, beliefs, values, clothing, or other types of aesthetic markers. Cultural identity is formed by many of these traits but is not limited to these specifically. This essay will provide detailed information on Mexican Americans, and their ancestry and heritage. I will also explain about this cultures central beliefs and values, while incorporating information on Mexican Americans, cultural patterns, cultural identity, and their cultures communication characteristics and styles.

If you have ever gone to Mexico and go back to the valley sometimes you will think that you never left Mexico and you just went in a circle. The Valley is about 95% Hispanic and about 50% of us speak Spanish and in the Valley, it’s not like other places where they have TEX-MEX. The valley is the complete opposite because we have more of a Hispanic culture than an American culture. There are places in the Valley, where it has a lot of American culture, but there are places in the same town or city where you think you just traveled to Mexico because stores where all they have is stuff from Mexico so that you don’t drive to Mexico. If you ever go to the valley the things you have to be careful about is if you go to a Mexican restaurant that you have to find out if any of the people who work there speak English because if you don’t know Spanish you are going to have a difficult time trying to order. The culture to me is one of a kind because there is no other place like it in the

There is something in some parts of the world (mainly the U.S.) that is very popular. The thing that I am referring to is Taco Bell, well at least from what I have seen it is pretty popular in the U.S. Although one thing I have to say about it is If you think you are going into Taco Bell expecting Genuine, Authentic Mexican food, well in that case you will be severely disappointed. The thing that makes Taco Bell food different from legitimate Mexican food is the fact that for the most part it isn’t even actually Mexican Food (to an extent). The reason why is because Taco Bell is actually a sort of “Hybrid Food” because it is actually Tex-Mex (A hybrid of Texan and Mexican food). Although they don’t sound very different they really are, and there are many reasons why. There is even various histories behind both types of food.Even if they sound similar they are not the same by a long shot. There are many differences between the two but at the same time there are many similarities, but for now I am going to talk about the differences. One difference I can think of for Tex-mex and Mexican food is that Mexican food is actually authentic and Tex-Mex is not as genuine as actual Mexican food. Another reason in Tex-Mex food they don’t use the same food and that they use different types such as the fact that they use “Texas Exclusive” and what I mean by that is that they use stuff like beef and wheat flour which they don’t have in Mexico. Although there

Well, that’s what it feels like to be eating in El Mezcal. The walkway entering the restaurant feel like you’re just about to walk in a Pueblo. In the restaurant, there are pictures on some of the walls, each one representing something in the Hispanic culture. By the cash register, there are little statues and fountains representing the history of Mexico. The walls were vibrant and made the whole place much brighter.

Mexico is a country located in North America and is bordered by the United States to the north; Mexico is known for it’s tequila, sunny climate, exotic scenery, Aztec ancient civilizations, piñatas, sombreros and articulate designs and tiles. It is a beautiful country surrounded by clear, blue sea and grainy white sand. The state of New Mexico itself has the highest percentage of Hispanic or Latinos by population in America (Wikipedia, 2015). Latinos have left an imprint in the fashion industry tremendously with famous designers such as Oscar De La Renta, Narcisco Rodriguez, Cristobal Balenciaga, and Manolo Blahnik making a name for themselves and creating unique brands. The country is known for being both rich in history and culture

There are a lot of restaurants in Arizona but the most American restaurants I would eat it every day is IN-N-OUT. This restaurant doesn’t exist in all of the states in the US. There are few and you can find this restaurant in states such as Arizona, California and most of the locations are in California and also you can find this restaurant in Texas. IN-N-OUT is an American restaurant and the decoration of the American style atmosphere such as the tables are in red and the chairs are made from steel or aluminum. If anyone entered this restaurant, he will know that this restaurant is American from the decoration and the clothes of the waiters. IN-N-OUT isn’t an expensive restaurant, everyone can eat from it even the people that don’t have that

As a person who has now lived in San Diego for over 22 years and a Latino, it is impossible not to see the medley of direct influences of Hispanic culture in this border town. Because Hispanic people heavily populate the city and it’s proximity to Mexico, representations of this thriving culture can be found in the city’s art, food, religion, architecture, economy, and politics. To get a better understanding of this, we must start at the beginning.

The cultural experience I had was a baby shower. I usually go to baby showers for my family and never for any other family. This baby shower was a Hispanic friend’s sister and it was different in many ways. When I walked in I saw many people already playing games and having fun. There were many games at the start such as the baby in ice and the one involving diaper pins. Those were two games that would last the entire occasion which I was informed of after being told I couldn’t play. A short while later people went and said a few words about the parents to be. I could not understand most of what was said because it was in Spanish, but I got a few words. Next came the food it was very unusual in my daily diet. They served chicken with mole,

To begin, the ethnic store, La Huerta, was observably rooted in tradition and folk culture, with cultural items such as traditional pieces of art, cultural foods, as well as other items that represented the Hispanic culture such as different religion-based products. For instance, there was art that depicted landscapes, which is common in traditional art in Hispanic cultures, as well as foods that are imported from foreign countries such
