Tex-Mex is a regional American cuisine with a history that dates back to the 16th century and the Spanish conquest of the Americas. Tex-Mex blends traditional textures and flavors from Mexico with recipes created by descendants of Texas Creoles and those of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry who settled in Texas. The result is a unique fusion of color and taste that's made Tex-Mex the culinary triumph it is today.
