Which failed due to :

1.) Price

2.) Location

3.) Unfamiliar recipes

But said food was indeed "Mexican food" as it was produced in Mexico,
consumed in Mexico, and based upon local Mexican recipes.

Now I don't mind argue-boxing you to a pulp if that's your 3 letter
semantics meltdown flavor; your call, dummy.

What other kind of food could it be?

No, they make Chinese food they way they see fit to bring it to a

But it remains "Chinese food" regardless.
