One of the most popular cuisines around the world, Mexican food is known for its wide variety of delicious, colorful, and savory dishes, desserts, and drinks. Like most Latin American foods, the Mexican food of today is the sum of different cultures/cuisines. Early Mexican cuisine was cooked naturally over an open fire since the natives did not have ovens to use. Then over time, through conquest, trade, and immigration, Caribbean, Spanish, South American, French, African and Portuguese cuisines had their own influences on Mexican food.
