I've never been to Mexico and I've no idea whether this even remotely resembles anything they eat there. But it's colourful and have some exotic ingredients typical in the Mexican kitchen so I guess it's as Mexican as Chicken Tikka Masala is Indian... Anyway, when it comes to taste it's absolutely delicious. Venga, pruebalo!
