Half Mexican, half Italian and delicious. The story goes, a Mexican-American was trained in a high-end Italian kitchen to make pasta. He left the restaurant to start his own, where he cooked his cultural cuisine, but the clientele who knew him demanded pasta, and so he split the menu in two. SO GOOD.
