Why Mexico Smiles
"México es llevar un topper vacío… y regresar con comida."
Bringing an empty Tupperware, and coming back with food.
Nobody sends you home hungry.
Hospitality in Mexico isn't just offering food. It's insisting you take some with you.
Because generosity isn't measured by what you have. It's measured by what you're willing to share.
