The Mexican culture has been through rapid changes during 19th and 20th centuries. Looking at the cities, we could see the familiarities of them with cities in neighboring countries, such as Europe and United States. The people in the village, however, still follow the old Mexican culture traditions more than those lived in the city. Mexico was once colonized by Spanish; those bring some Spanish customs to the land. The influences can be seen clearly from many aspects of the Mexican culture and lifestyle, including the language they speak and the food they eat.

Mexican Culture: The National Language

Mexican Culture Reflected In Language and Food
Mexico has several languages listed as its national language. The colonization of Spanish people brought Spanish language to Mexican culture, and to this day, Mexico is the most populous country who speaks Spanish. While the overwhelming number of its people speaks Spanish, the government still recognizes several other languages spoken. There are 68 indigenous Amerindian languages listed as the national language. Among them, some are threatened with extinction in the culture. Some of these are also the heritage of the old Mexican culture, such as the Nahuatl, Yucatec Maya, Zapotec, Otomi, and many others.

Mexican Culture: The Indigenous Cuisine

The varied food and beverages in Mexican culture has some influences from European and their own Indigenous cuisine. Some popular Mexican food includes enchiladas, tacos, mole sauce, pozole, tamales, and atole. In Mexican culture, the Yucatan food is well-known for its spiciness in meat and vegetable dishes. Tequila is now considered important in Mexican culture as the national alcohol beverage. Another important food from Mexico is chocolate, which was prized highly by Aztec. To this day, this sweet ingredient remains important in most Mexican dishes.
The Mexican is really proud of their culture. Thus, when they move to other countries such as United States, they try to preserve their culture wherever they live, which ultimately brings Mexican American culture alive in America. This makes their Mexican culture well-known all-over the world.
