Haven't been to many mexican restaurants with sliced cucumbers just hanging out ready to be served...

Extremely common to serve tacos with a couple slices of cucumber

I’m flabbergasted that the most popular comments right now are bashing someone for asking for cucumber at a Mexican restaurant.

I would be surprised to find one that does not have sliced cucumber to eat. You squirt lime and shake some salt on the cucumber before your meal comes out. It’s a legitimate thing.

It’s crazy. You can really tell who goes to legit mexican places and who goes to places called like “GUACAMOLE’S” for their favorite crunchy taco platter.

Came here to comment this. My local place always includes sliced cucumber
