There are so many ways to learn about a country, its culture, and its people. You can visit the place, read history books, or dive into travel guides. But if you really want to get a taste of a city’s vibe, memes can offer a surprisingly fun insight.
Today, we've put together a collection of hilarious memes about Mexico from the mexmemez Instagram account just for you, Pandas. So, grab some tacos, sit back, and enjoy!This post may include affiliate links.
And why not?!! Makes it stand out from all the other Mexican restaurants!
Looks like you also bought that doggo a nice buzz so it would wear that human stuff that makes its human happy. The eyes don't tell lies.
Some dogs like to wear clothes/costumes! My dog Stilgar had distemper as a puppy, so he had to wear sweaters to keep him warm (low body fat.) He also had to go to a lot of vet and specialist appointments, and he learned that people fussed over him and gave him more attention when he was wearing a sweater. So, now he truly does love to wear costumes, because he knows he'll get more attention with them on. He refuses to go on a walk unless he's wearing his baseball cap XD The Chihuahua above doesn't look like he shares Stilly's opinion on clothing/costumes, though! stillyhat-...1ecf27.jpg

From its rich history and diverse cultures to its breathtaking landscapes and unique traditions, Mexico is full of fascinating facts that often go unnoticed.
Go bigger! It's great to see the baby turn 15! Senior citizen kitty!
Right? XD My old gray girl lived to two months shy of her 20th birthday. 15 is young! My void kitty just turned 8 and my vet said now she has to have the "senior cat exam" every year. How rude! XD

Load More Replies...Wow 16 factorial is a big number and so is 18 factorial factorial
'Drinking age' is a bit of a misrepresentation. In the UK for example, there is no "drinking age", you can legally drink from any age, but there is an age restriction on buying alcohol, so you just can't be the one to buy it.
Ok technically in uk drinking age is like.. 5 9r something. In ur own home or whatever iirc. BUYING it and drinking it in public specifically is the issue
18. If you’re under 18, it’s against the law: for someone to sell you alcohol, to buy or try to buy alcohol, for an adult to buy or try to buy alcohol for you, or to drink alcohol in licensed premises (such as a pub or restaurant). However, if you’re 16 or 17 and accompanied by an adult, you can drink (but not buy) beer, wine or cider with a meal. It’s illegal to give alcohol to children under 5.
Load More Replies...Afaik you can drink beer / wine at 16 in Germany, but booze is over 18. It's not striktly enforced, but that's the law.
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or just someone who enjoys learning about different places, there’s always something new to discover about Mexico.
For starters, Mexico is home to the Great Pyramid of Cholula, which is not just any pyramid—it’s larger in volume than the famous Great Pyramid of Giza. This incredible structure is a testament to the ingenuity of ancient civilizations.
The Keke but who's slightly chubby. It's actually meant to be a term of endearment.

I had white friends growing up who had no idea why I would run if my mom walked into the room/backyard with a sandal in her hand. XD (I'm white, but I was adopted at birth into a Mexican family.)
Load More Replies...Yes. But many people make few distinctions between Central and South American cultures, just like many people classify "all Asians" as "the same". XD
Load More Replies...While many of us know that chocolate is famously associated with Ecuador, it’s important to remember that its true origins can be traced back to Mexico. The ancient Maya and Aztecs not only cultivated cacao but also transformed it into a variety of delicious beverages, using it in sacred rituals and as a form of currency.
I thought only eat real tacos was a diet. Taco Bell is not real tacos btw by far that’s some American tostada looking nonsense jaja
Lol. My Latina mom is trustworthy. She will only tell my brothers. Who will then hold the press conference
I have personally witnessed this over and over as most Spanish speakers assume fair skinned or Caucasians don’t know Spanish even if it’s you they’re talking about right in front of them jaja
I'm blonde and blue-eyed and as white as a plain paper towel. But I was adopted at birth - into a Mexican family, so I'm fluent in Spanish XD When I worked retail, my co-workers would come get me if they needed translation services for one of our customers who was Hispanic. I always had to start off with "Yo adoptivo..." XD The funny thing is, I have a cousin who is a biological part of my adoptive family, but she refused to learn any Spanish. She says "I'm not Mexican, I'm American."
Load More Replies...Mexico boasts an impressive 35 UNESCO World Heritage sites, showcasing everything from ancient ruins to colonial cities and breathtaking natural wonders. These sites are a celebration of their diverse heritage and the cultural significance of its landscapes.
And every single male relative that is older than you but isn't literally your parent or grandparent is "tio" as well XD I have second cousins who are in their 60s now (I'm 42) and I grew up calling them "tio/tia" even though they're not my parents' siblings!
Load More Replies...Tia is washing everything with holy water including the electronics jaja

That's actually pretty impressive. And it's the Virgin of Guadalupe, who is very special to Mexico. Cool story, bro, look it up.
The Mayan civilization, often regarded as one of the most advanced societies in history, thrived in Mexico and left behind a legacy that still fascinates many of us today.
Their remarkable achievements spanned various disciplines, including math, astronomy, and architecture. For instance, they developed a complex numerical system and were among the first to use the concept of zero, which revolutionized mathematics.
Can confirm. Also, why do American tacos have a weird shell??? That's not a tortilla, it's a weird-shaped tostada. Gringos ruin our food
It's Tex-Mex. A blending of two cultures. Real tacos are awesome, but sometimes a Tex-Mex hard shell, shredded beef taco hits the spot as well! Nachos are also Tex-Mex!
Load More Replies...Well dang it i read everyones comments and now need tacos. Still taco tuesday here.
Our son (not named Edgar) was born with full head of hair and a mustache. My husband is Mexican.
When it comes to nature, Mexico has an astonishing 10% of the world’s biodiversity. The country ranks first globally in reptiles, with 707 known species, and second in mammals, with 438 species. It also comes in fourth for amphibians, with 290 species, and fourth in flora, showcasing an incredible 26,000 different plant species.
Mexico's diverse landscapes—from arid deserts to lush rainforests—create a rich tapestry of ecosystems that are home to many unique species.
Can i have the ice cream and plaster :( especially if the plaster has dinosaurs or something
It took me a few seconds but I figured out that plaster is another word for Band-aid. Lol
Load More Replies...Yes, you have a statement and a picture. Do you need more?
Load More Replies...Oh HE knew. "Whats wrong with what Im wearing" (i can hear the statement & matter a fact confidence thru the photo with that glare)
Mexico’s unique Day of the Dead celebration is a vibrant and colorful homage to deceased loved ones. This heartfelt tradition involves creating beautiful altars adorned with photos, favorite foods, and festive decorations, allowing families to honor and remember those who have passed in a joyous and loving manner.

To avoid oxidation issues, simply place the avocado pit into the guacamole. Plus, add lemon to the guac when mixing it. Ole!
I felt so betrayed when I bought guacamole that had tomato in it. There's only one way to have great guacamole and it's to make it yourself.
My cousin's spouse is Mexican and he was appalled when he saw me add tomato to the guacamole.
Load More Replies...It depend on how fast she’s walking and whether she’s taking off her chancletas while walking jaja
Like Inuits with the many words for snow, Mexicans have many words for when they will be arriving somewhere.
Indeed. "Right now" does not mean "right now right now."
Load More Replies...We call it Mexican Time. Note: Where I'm from (southern California) people of Mexican descent are referred to as "Mexican," and "Chicano" is usually -but not always- a synonym. People who came here from Mexico are referred to as "from Mexico."
Yep. I've lived in Southern California all my life. I don't hear "Chicano" as much nowadays as I did when I was a kid, though, nor do I hear it as much where I live (Huntington Beach) vs when I visit my family members in Pico, Whittier, and the LA area XD
Load More Replies...My husbands family showing up 20yrs ago AFTER our wedding ceremony. Stood at end of aisle "oh is it over?" Gotta love 'em!
My 50% caucasian-ness and NueroDivergent-ness plus being a mother of Autistic littles we must show up on time to party and cannot stay the full 6hrs till midnight bc they need their bedtime schedule.
So, while these posts showcase Mexico in a fun way, there’s no denying that the country is truly delightful in so many aspects. Which of these posts did you enjoy the most? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
I was in labor for 36hrs. Awake for over 24hrs. He was sleeping hahaha That was first time. Second time was during Covid and ugh odd experience. (Not downplaying horrendous covid. Just saying my labor/delivery during lockdown was interesting)
In Czech republic we celebrate and give presents in the 24th. 25th and 26th are public holidays but those are just to lay around and eat the leftovers after the big party.
My family was German ancestry and Catholic, we had Christmas on Christmas Eve too. Maybe because we did late night mass on 24th?
We used to open presents after midnight Mass, what was my mother thinking?!
Load More Replies...My parents had the same mentality, opening presents on the 24th, major cooking on Christmas day. Divide the stress.
We do both. Plus have immediate family mbrs bdays 22nd so its a week of overstimulating yet joyful memory filled fun.
Yolanda Saldivar killed Selena Quintanilla-Perez, a singer whose fanclub Yolanda founded, in 1995. She was sentenced to life in prison. She would be eligible for parole in 2025.
It should be noted that Selena was born and raised in America. She had Mexican descent, but she was 100% American!
All mexicans are raised in america... so are all canadians...
Load More Replies...It's because of the late Selena, the great Tejana singer and cultural icon. Her murderer was named Yolanda.
Load More Replies...Late at night when all the world is sleeping I stay up and think of you And I wish on a star That somewhere you are thinking of me too
"Amor Prohibido" was my introduction to Tejana music. Her music became the soundtrack to my (completely white American) late childhood-early adolescence. She was murdered before I discovered her, but her legacy will always remain undiminished by time.
It means Conch Shell like they eat in the Caribbean. Concha con crema fresa.
Concha is a kind of bread guys!! But in Argentinian spanish that word has another meaning.
Omg this is so true. There are three kids right now with this hair cut
WHY does it have to have "Nobody"? Sorry, but I find this really irritating.
It's kind of just a shorter and simpler way to communicate "apropos of nothing:". It doesn't flow very well if you're expecting standard English, but it's intelligible.
Load More Replies...I am from India, we had to do this before too :’] (We moved into an apartment and I got my SHOWER AT LASTT)
In some parts of Asia we shower & clean up after pee/poo with water just like this. Yes, and squatting toilet too. Makes more sense than cleaning up w toilet paper, and apparently pooing in squatting position is better than sitting (for your digestive health) 😬
I been there. With soap shampoo and conditioner. But I always boil a pot so it's not freezing. Uug.
Lived in Asia for 9 years, so , yeah. Also ; squat toilets, bum gun (butt shpritzer)
Oh I have. I’m from French and German immigrants and we moved to small town that was high agricultural and most of my friends were Mexican migrant workers and I did as my friends did jaja

Load More Replies...Where I live (Southern California), the girls we knew of as "cholas" in the 90s always wore either a sweatshirt or a flannel shirt. They usually wore a lot more makeup than these two girls as well (usually with red lipstick.) This looks more like a nice photo of two girls at a school dance than two cholas to me.
Load More Replies...We will feed anyone. Hospitality is very important to us (I'm Chicana),
I went to one of those, too. Had no idea who the girl was, but I took a present.
Btw, quinceañera is the girl no the party, the party's name is quinceaños.
It must be me and I’ve known a lot of people of Mexican and other Latin countries and I don’t recall once them ever eating ramen. I’ve been to Mexico too visiting friends.
I'm adopted into a family of Southern California Mexicans (great-grandparents were immigrants.) I don't know if it's a family thing, or a location thing, but everyone in my family is HUGE on ramen, specifically the Cup Noodles brand!
Load More Replies..."Pobre" means "poor" in Spanish - not money-poor, but sort of like "oh, you poor thing..."
Chilaquiles are red, Langosta is too, be my Bichota, no Tusa for you jaja
I mentioned to someone that I failed at something despite using a you tube tutorial and they said I should try a different one, which means they have a lot more faith in me than I do!
better eat them quickly! They start going stale almost immediately! I wish there was a panaderia out here (rural Kansas)
I'm so sorry ;_; I live in Southern California in a mainly-white beach town and you STILL can't walk a couple of blocks without hitting a panaderia. The one closest to my house even makes the pig-shaped ones I had in my childhood (cochinitos.) I'd ship you a boxful but they'd be stale by the time they got there ;_;
Load More Replies..."Cálmate!" was the yell of my childhood. XD Usually followed by a slap or a whack with the chancla or whatever cooking utensil the family member had in hand.
Load More Replies...This is why I don't wear white if I'm going out to eat.
My mum refuses to wear light colours because she will get them dirty no matter what she is doing!
but the comida in la casa is just beans in a reused Country Crock-brand margarine tub.
I'm glad my sister decided not to go out after my stepdad's party last weekend, because I was imagining this scenario. She had just told me about how she got back to her friend's house at 7am after something not long ago and hadn't been able to wake him to get in!
I remember the Gansito ads from my childhood. There's one that's tattooed on my brain: a man hanging from a cliff gets pulled up by a rope. He thanks his friend but the friend says he didn't pull the rope. They look at the other end of the rope to see an actual duck standing there. Mexica ads are weird.
Oh wow. I haven't had this since I was a little kid, back when my grandma was still alive. I always loved how she put just literal chunks of corncob in (as it should be) instead of just corn kernels. Okay, now I miss this ;_; Going to have to learn to make it myself!
I don't know how it is in other cultures, but in Hispanic culture, every relative that is *significantly* older than you are, but isn't your parents or grandparents, is referred to as "tio/tia" (uncle/aunt) as a sign of respect. Conversely, every older relative will call you "mijo/mija" (literally a contraction of "my son/my daughter") as a sign of affection. I grew up calling my mom's cousins (my second cousins) "uncle" and "aunt", even though I knew they weren't my mom's siblings. And every single one of them called me "mija".
Yes! My grandma gave me one when I was very young and I still have it! XD
My quick (and questionable) research shows it is called "Under the Same Moon".
Load More Replies...Lol read this to learn more about Mexican culture. Some things definitely went over my head but I think it's safe to assume everyone in Mexico is an alcoholic or borderline alcoholic lol Seriously though, is alcohol in general a big staple in Mexican culture?
It's a big staple in most cultures? I come from a Chicano / Mexican American family who converted to the Nazarenes (evangelical Christians) during the Great Depression, so alcohol was absolutely not a thing for us. It was a massive scandal when my grandfather would have one (1) single bottle of Budweiser when he was watching Angel's games (Anaheim Angels baseball team).
Load More Replies...Do I count as a chicana too? XD I'm white af but I was adopted at birth into a Mexican family in Southern California, so, trust me, I got the FULL "American" Mexican upbringing experience, complete with chancla beatings XD
Load More Replies...You put this post on the Babylon Bee and suddenly it;s racist. That's what people on the Right have been trying to point out. There are wonderful, funny differences in races. I'll bet the people who take offense at this post are mainly white, progressive women in their 20s.
