I have often heard the term TexMex often times affiliated with food. This week I overheard two janitors at my work talking and they were speaking in Spanish but they were also speaking in English. I began to really think about the fact that they were interchangeably using two languages and not missing a beat. Living in Texas it is evident to me that the blend of Hispanic and Mexican culture with Texas culture have made up a new culture entirely. This culture I believe is what the term TexMex refers to. This culture has shadows of Mexican and Hispanic traditions and cultures but has adapted to a newer form to fit in with the Texas culture.
Las culturas mexicana y española se han combinado con la cultura de Texas.
Una nueva cultura llama TexMex.
Es en Texas.
