Ceviche -- Raw fish marinated in lime juice, often in a chopped salad.
Chiles Renellos -- Large Poblano chilies stuffed with cheese or spicy meat (picadillo). The chilies are mild, though the sauce may not be.
Enchiladas -- Tortillas coated in a tomato and chili sauce, stuffed with vegetables, chicken or pork then folded and baked. Despite the chili content, enchiladas are often fairly mild. Enchiladas suizas are topped with sour cream.
Huachinango -- Red Snapper, a common feature on the menus at coastal resorts. Often available â€˜al gustoâ€™, cooked in a choice of methods.
Quesadillas -- Tortillas stuffed with cheese, folded and grilled. A simple dish often served with beans or a little salad and suitable for those avoiding anything spicy.
Mole sauce -- A wonderful rich sauce made with the unlikely combination of chocolate, chilies and many spices. It can be red or green depending on the ingredients and the moles of Puebla and Oaxaca are particularly famous, hence â€˜mole poblanoâ€™ or â€˜mole oaxaqeÃ±oâ€™. The sauce is often served over chicken, though turkey is more traditional.
PipÃan sauce -- Another of Oaxacaâ€™s specialties, pipÃan sauce is green and made from pumpkin seeds. It is often served over chicken.
Poc Chuc -- Another Yucatecan specialty, where pork fillet is cooked with tomatoes, onions and spices.
Pollo Pibil -- A Yucatecan specialty, not often found outside this region. It traditionally consists of chicken marinated in orange and spices then barbecued in banana leaves.
Tacos -- Tortillas fried until they are crispy and served with various fillings.
Tamales -- Cornmeal paste wrapped in corn or banana husks and often stuffed with chicken, pork or turkey and/or vegetables, then steamed.
Tortas -- Mexican sandwiches, often large rolls with generous fillings.
Tostadas -- Thin and crisp tortillas served loaded with guacamole, sour cream, chilies, chicken etc.

rhyno is right, there are alot more, every state has his own speciality

Mikey

Give it to Rhino.............
In Acapulco we have picadas...........Pee Cah Dahs...........
A small tortilla with a small lip on it that they put cheese , chicken , chorizo on and then the condiments................
Quesadillias are different than the states version. Kinda like a deep fried Calzone with the ingredients inside.
tacos are also different - they are soft corn tortillas spread out with the ingredients laid on top and you just fold them up and attack..........
Pazole is also traditional ( and ALWAYS eaten on thursday's ) - a thick soup of huge corn kernels with a ton of condiments on the side - Heck the condiments - onions , jalapeneo's , pork rinds , ect - are more than the bowl of soup :)

someday...

BEANS, TORTILLAS, AND SALSA with everything everyone else said

Just FYI, tacos are not always fried, as a matter of fact only chicken tacos are served fried. Traditionally tacos are served in a soft corn tortilla.
And Pozole is not made out of chicken.
Mexican food is delicious.
