How To Find Expat Bars
Start by searching Facebook groups or Meetup for “expats in [city]” or “international social club.” Walk through districts with a high concentration of foreign restaurants or hostels. Inside, look for English-language menus, sports broadcasts from multiple countries, or a mix of national flags. Chat with the bartender—they often know which other bars cater to expats. If you book a table through the airline’s dining program at a participating restaurant, you can add your MileagePlus number to the reservation.
5 Signs That You Are Having Authentic Mexican Food
Authentic Mexican food represents the culture and traditions preserved and passed down through generations. Influences from Africa, South America, Europe, and the Caribbean were combined into homegrown meals. Five signs of authenticity: (1) the tortillas are made from scratch—corn masa, not flour, for most traditional dishes; (2) the salsas are roasted or ground fresh, not from a jar; (3) the meat is seasoned with dried chiles and spices, not pre-packaged seasoning mixes; (4) the cheese is queso fresco, cotija, or Oaxaca, not shredded cheddar; (5) the dish includes nopales, huitlacoche, or other indigenous ingredients. Each region has its unique type.
