MexAmerica (Ch 14)


The MexAmerica area of the United States is the area where two cultures collide, that of Mexico and the so called "American" culture.  In San Antonio, the culture might be defined as Mexamerican considering the distance it has from the border of Mexico and its heavy influence from such culture depending on its citizens, many of whom are from mexican ancestry.


Mexamerica area is defined by its people as well by its cuisine which is heavily influence by its Mexican roots.  San Antonio falls under this Mexamerica and it's seen in its architecture, people and cuisine among others factors. Besides its mexican influences, Texas BBQ is big in San Antonio.
