A normal house hold dish can be tacos. I know for  a fact in my house hold we have tacos at least once a week. Mexican food like this has inspired American cultures to eat foods like tacos on a daily. etarrant https://padlet.com/etarrant/s8af4b205whz/wish/131539952 2016-10-18 16:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/etarrant/s8af4b205whz/wish/131539952 Music cobennett https://padlet.com/etarrant/s8af4b205whz/wish/131540099 Mexican Music is one of the bigger influences on our culture in the U.S. because whenever you go to a Mexican restaurant or a party there is usually mariachi music playing or there is a mariachi band there also.]]> 2016-10-18 16:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/etarrant/s8af4b205whz/wish/131540099 Place names  cobennett https://padlet.com/etarrant/s8af4b205whz/wish/131542843 The Spanish language also shows a great influence on some of the major cities and their names.
