I generally don’t order alcoholic beverages in restaurants with the exception of Mexican restaurants. At home, on fajita night, my dad always makes margaritas. There is just something nice about being buzzed and eating guac, chips, and softshell tacos.

Is this conditioning? Because my family often does this— or is this a more general phenomenon because Mexican food; by some quality yet unknown, be it texture, flavor, or smell, is uniquely well suited to being paired with alcohol?

    I have had similar thoughts, not specifically about Mexican food though.

    I think many culutures have developed cuisines that are carefully balanced, incl. traditional alcoholic beverages.

    So, I don’t think it’s conditioning. OTOH I don’t know how traditional margaritas are.
