People in Mexico are always friendly, but don't you dare mock their traditions!

  1. Do you want me to believe you have a baseball national team?

  2. Spanish food is so delicious

  3. How come that Argentina and Brasil are so good at football and you never won a single championship?

  4. Well, tequila is just similar to scotch

  5. I studied Spanish at university, but you guys speak it in such a different way

  6. The best tacos I ever had were at Taco Bell's

  7. Where can I see one of those Wrestling imitations you're so good at doing? I think they are called Lucha Libre...

  8. It's the first time I'm travelling to a Southern American country

  9. Have you forgotten your sombrero and your poncho at home today?
