When you think of ramen noodles you usually don’t think of Mexican food.

However, there is a company that makes instant Mexican Ramen.

Tapatío uses their well known spicy sauce for the flavor of their ramen noodles.

I like the top of the container with the man wearing a large sombrero.

The bowl of course has a flavor and a vegetable pack to give the Mexican cuisine flavor.

I like hot food, so this is not too hot for me. However, it is a bit hotter than the ramen flavors that are Asian inspired. A recurring during my recent trip to Thailand was them always being worried that the food was too hot for me. The food was spicy, but not hot spicy. I believe that Mexican food is usually hotter.

Here you can see the spices before adding water to the bowl. You can see the heat in the spice.

Here is how it looked after adding the water and letting it cook the noodles. The spice did not migrate much through the bowl. If I try it again I will spread the spice out more before adding the hot water.

After stirring the noodles the soup darkened up. The soup was really good and at least had some good spice.

I will look for and try the extra spicy version to see how it tastes. I will have to go somewhere else to look for it, as it is not carried at my grocery store.

Have you tried Mexican instant Ramen?
