Viva Mexico!!

Postby siLLy on Tue, Feb 08 2005, 1:25 PM

When you all go to Mexico what part of Mexico do you all visit?

My family from my dad's side is from Culiacan Sinaloa. Just me and my other sister where born here in Az....we used to go to Sinaloa but hardly do anymore. :Thumbsdown: Now we just usually visit, Agua Prieta Sonora or Nogales :wuakala:

What is the first thing you do when you get there??

When we go to we usually hit the hot dog stand! Man those hot dogs are bomb!! :P

We go to Coahuila all the time. Its where my parents are from. We also have family in Monterrey, but we dont go often.

The first thing we do when we get there, is go to my dads cuzin's house to eat, lol! She makes and sells food from her house, so we buy from her. She sells tacos dorados, burritos, hamburgers, and menudo. :Thumbsup:

nuevo leon and San Luis..but they never went back...when i would go to Texas to visit some family in the Valley, we would go visit the border of Mexico ,Tamulipas...it was a real great expericnce, since i am from Michigan and we dont have that strong mexican presance that close to us. :blushing:

Our Abuelito on Dad's side was from Terran, Nuevlo loen.

our Abuelita on our Moms side was from San Luis, Potosi.

thought it was Reynosa? anyway that was more of a tourist side.. and I never really count that as visitng Mexico. you guys when in further took a taxi to town. back when our sister was getting ready for her 15. I wasn't there.
