Ughhh. tfw you're eating at the local mexican restaurant and your family finishes their order of cinco-de-jumbo margaritas with a "Thank You" instead of saying "Gracias, mi amigo".

I try to be patient with them, but also lead by example by holding up my empty basket of chips in the air and yelling "por favoooor" (pleeeease) when needing a refill.

Its important to make sure everyone is absolutely clear at all times that whatever you are eating, it is not truly "authentic mexican". Be prepared for any pushback by using an anecdote from your recent trip to hoduras (place close to mexico) and why those burritos were much more "auténtico".

If you have not been to Honduras (you really should go). Then you can also help explain your point with a This American Life podcast already queued up for them to listen to at the table that explains why. Also don't be afraid to invite your waiter/waitress to sit down and listen to it with you, as they might not know themselves.

mom: Our food has been sitting in the window for 20 min while I can clearly see him texting on his phone. I mean this place usually has good service but that is one lazy waiter.

Dad: Oono bur- uh bur-r r br burd-r gently caress it just give me a quesadilla.

Me: About those double l's....

Hola, my llamo is Carlos Kobayashi. I am a 27 year old Japanese Jatino (Mexican culture fan for you foreigners). I roll burr-i-to in my hand-built adobe casa, and spend my days perfecting my craft and enjoying superior Mexican passtimes. (Luchador, Hat Dance, Pinata)

I train with my tortilla every day, this superior flatbread can hold the spiciest ingredients because it is strong and wholesome, and is vastly superior to any other method of making emparedado. I earned my Food Truck two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Mexican fluently, both California and Mayan dialect, and I write fluently too. I know everything about Mexican history and their bandito code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Mexican visa, I am moving to Tijuana to work at a tortilla factory and learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become Quality Specialist at Mission Food Services or a burrito artisan at Chipotle!

I own several sombreros, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Mexico, so I can fit in easier. I rebel against my elders and seniors and speak Mexican as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Mexico!
