Opinions

USA is influenced by Sonora mainly because Arizona and Sonora have a border in common, a lot of people pass through it every day.

Now, you can find very good Mexican restaurants in America but not all of them can have our flavor or style. A lot of factors are implicated, for example and most important: the ingredients, they won’t be the same from Sonora than from USA.

Personally, I prefer to eat Mexican food at Mexico but I know about excellent Mexican restaurants in United States with very long lines just to enter.

In my opinion, Mexican food has a lot of influence in the United States; especially in states that share the border with Mexico. As Sonora and Arizona are bordering states, Arizona is more influenced by Sonoran food than any other state. In Arizona you can find a lot of “Sonora” style restaurants, but they’re definitely not as good as Sonoran food made in Sonora.

From what I read, American people who have tried sonoran food and Mexican food from other states, say they like sonoran food better; I understand, sonoran food is delicious.

I believe sonoran food should be known in all The States. It’s really good, and most people who have tried it seem to love it and wish there were sonoran restaurants in their cities.

Many American people like sonoran food, and if they don’t like it, it’s probably because they haven’t tried it yet!

My opinion about the subject of the influence of Sonoran food in USA is that there are many Sonoran recipes that United States has into the gastronomy of the country. I think that is very nice that some parts of our culture are included in this country, but also I believe that the style of Sonoran food is unique.

When we were searching the information we found too little about the subject but all was interesting because I didn’t know that there are so many dishes that have a great influence in USA for its flavor as the famous “carne asada”.

I like very much this subject and I hope to you too.

I really enjoy our gastronomy, especially carne asada, tamales, posole and traditional desserts like coyotas and champurrado as a drink, and of course, they  really have a huge influence in United States because we are pretty close and it’s very common that each country share their culture with its neighbor. I’m glad to know that our traditions are known in the United States and I think it would be much better if they could go further, so other people around the world can get pleasure from the Mexican food and its flavors and colors. Who could not love Mexican food, especially Sonoran food?

In my opinion the food is great taste Sonora to the United States, so it is very ordered and the food that is made here is unique and the way they make the food in use is quite different from how prepared here, as we can see in the videos of Hot Dog, are different ingredients and method of preparation, as well as here in Sonora there are people selling food from USA, there are also people who like to sell food in Sonora as Menudo and coyotas. I think if people like both the food should come to Sonora and try and realize how different it is.

Due to USA and México are frontiers countries and because there are a high number of Mexican people in United States, the typical food from Sonora has influenced a lot the diet of the Americans. From the typical tamales, chorizo, chimichangas to tacos, burritos, menudo, gallina pinta, etc. The nearer states to México and the ones who have more immigrants are the most influenced by the Mexican traditions. But even in the far away states you can see Mexican tendencies.
