According to 24/7 Tempo, "Mexican food is the second most popular cuisine in America, according to a study conducted late last year by FoodFireFriends based on Google search data. This cuisine had an average of 1.22 million searches per month. (Coming in at number one was Chinese with more than 3.35 million searches.) This year, on a list of the 50 most popular foods in America published by Reader’s Digest, 11 items were Mexican or Mexican-adjacent." So as you see, Mexican food is extremely popular, and not surprising is that New Jersey is home to many fantastic "Mexican" restaurants.
