Mexican has been popular worldwide for a long time. I bet you will find More people who know and like Mexican food world wide then you will find Peruvian food. Mexican food is a Billion Dollar industry and it will always be the strongest but I won't tell you why. You will have to figure it out for yourself.
The mexican food known worldwise is the American version tex-mex, it is not authentic mexican. So dont confuse between them too...Having a superpower next door has boosted mexican cuisine through american franchises but peruvian cuisine is gaining a foothold thru their gourmet high end version..Since when did UNESCO decided to enter the gastronomy world so then italian, chinese, spanish food are considered second best because UNESCO say so..
To answer the question Puerto Rican food and Caribbean food is very different from Mexican food. It is bland with no spices and they love their Platanos. They put Bananas in everything.
That is South American B.S Peruvian food has never rivaled Mexican food and probably never will.
Since when? Caribbean food, particularly non-Hispanic, is FULL of spices. It makes Mexican food seem more on the milder end. Find yourself down to Trinidad, and you'll really get a taste of flavor and spice.
Dude get over yourself. Not everyone likes Mexican food. This is why its known to be so cheap. "Quiero TacoBell. LOL. and I agree with the other post. Peruvian food is 10 better than Mexican in every way.

God, such subjectivity passed as the gospel. There is good Mexican food and bad Mexican food. Good Peruvian food and bad Peruvian food. There is even good Tex-Mex, believe it or not, it is just that Tex-Mex has been commodified and distributed to the world as a cheap 'fast food' so it has a bad reputation.
At any rate, PR food is nothing like Mexican and is closer in ingredients and technique to other Caribbean cuisines, as already noted. The Caribbean is very different from the mainland of North and Central America.
My favorite PR restaurants are in the Bronx. One day I need to go to the island to taste it from the source, though.

The bolded part of your statement tells me that you don't really know what Mexican food is. Tex-Mex doesn't cut it.
Good posts above. Accrate descripions. I have been here 6 months, from the midwest and I personally find the food great! at both at the homes and the resteraunts. But... A lot of it is fried, and is so good I overdid it. I have gained 10 pounds and cholesterol is up !!!
