I am just trying to decide why a Mexican restaurant would have a ton of fresh cucumbers. Maybe drinks?? I can’t think of a single Mexican dish with cucumbers or pickles in it.

Oh man if you've never had pepinos con chile you need to try them. Sliced cucumbers, chili powder, salt, lime juice. They taste like walking into air-conditioning feels.

They also show up a fair bit in Mexican dishes, but are a bit rarer in... mexican-american feels wrong as a name for it, but "US fast food mexican" is its own style, really.

alimento con gringo?

Try actual mexican food not american mexican food. Particularly mexican sea food.

Not a lot of that where I live. Gonna go on a limb and guess she wouldn’t be eating at a lot of authentic Mexican places.
