I am from right outside of Metropolitan Monterrey from a city called Cadereyta Jimenez, the city gathered international headlines recently for being the dumping ground of 49 due to the cartels fighting.

I'm a Cheesehead who lived in Troll land who moved to the UP (but I'm not officially a Yooper yet).
(Translation: Janesville, Wi to the lower peninsula of Michigan and then immigrated to Yooper Land. You really do need a passport to come up here [or should].)

Yeah, toilets there have half-flushes to save water, and they sit higher than US toilets. WTF is up with the low, low toilets you have here?

It's more natural. It helps promote better pooping by simulating the squatting humans evolved to do.

Ah, Zapp beat me to it.
A Santafesina (via Perez, Rosario) told us they make good empanadas here:
http://www.argentinabakery.com/
But there is nothing like a good "asado" made at home (bife, chinchulines, chorizos, mollejas, chimichurri (NO CILANTRO!)) And of course Quilmes, or better yet,
un buen vino.
Who would have thought? "Che" Awake. JAJAJAJAJA!!!!

I believe you may be referring to Brazilian style steak. I like both, but I lean towards Argentinian.
