What do you think it is about the food that everyone’s so in love with?
Oscar: Mexican food has a bad reputation. Most of the stuff you find in the States consists of cheese and sour cream; it’s just not Mexican. Before we were conquered by the Spanish, we didn’t use meat. The roots of many Mexican dishes are vegetarian. A lot of people don’t know that. They think Mexican food is unhealthy, but we’re trying to prove people wrong here, using a lot of fresh ingredients and create essentially wholesome dishes.
