I love Mexican food, it's one of my favorites, especially tacos and fajitas...yum. And now that I've tried Casa Mexicana's delightful Beef Taco and Chicken Fajita seasonings....um wow! I wish they sold this stuff in the stores where I live. I wouldn't buy Old Elpaso or Taco Bell stuff anymore, I'd buy this.
If you have it in a store neat you I highly recommend giving it a try.
