Mexican cuisine is centered around three national staples:

• tortillas (round patties of pressed corn or  wheat-flour cooked on griddles)
• beans (are eaten boiled, fried, in soups, on tortillas or with anything)
• chili peppers

Apart from an astonishing array of freshly squeezed fruit juices (jugos), which are  readily available from street stalls, Mexico is also famous for its alcoholic  beverages - mezcal and tequila in particular. Pulque is a mildly alcoholic drink derived directly from the sap of the maguey

Moreover, some delicious non-alcoholic drinks can be found as well, like for instance Flor de Jamaica, Agua de Horchata or Agua de Tamarindo.
