The origin of nachos is not American. The title of the father of Nachos goes to a man named Ignacio de Anaya. Ignacio was the manager of a Mexican restaurant in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. A group of military wives wandered into club victoria, Ignacio’s restaurant, looking for something to eat. For some reason, the cooks were all gone and Ignacio needed to feed them. He ran into the kitchen, cut tortillas into a triangle shape and fried them. Then, he put them on a dish, topped them with colby cheese and sliced jalapenos.This was something he quickly put together and the wives loved it. They asked for seconds and asked what this amazing dish was called. Ignacio didn’t have a name for the dish, so he just told them, “Nacho’s special”. Nacho is a nickname for th name Ignacio. The rest is history.

The charro suit is made of long tight pants that are decorated on both sides. The coat is on the shorter side and embroidered. The outfit wouldn't be complete without the wide brimmed Sombrero and a silk tie. This outfit is the same for women, only it is a skirt. 

This style of suit can be traced to the Salamanca region of Spain. When the Spanish colonized Mexico, they brought this style of clothing with them. The Spanish made it illegal for indigenous people to ride horses without a Spanish landowner’s permission. When the Spanish did give an indigenous person permission to ride, they were forced to wear clothing that set them apart from the Spanish. These horsemen and their outfits became known as Charros.
