To celebrate the Day of The Nacho here are 5 of JOE’s favourite Mexicans

The Mexicans... a grand bunch of lads

JOE

This Wednesday is International Nachos Day. Yes, that is actually a thing and why shouldn’t it be, nachos are pretty darn great.

So to celebrate this fantastic day, we’ve decided to put together a list of our favourite Mexicans… because that’s where nachos are from and because Googling pictures of Salma Hayek is a great way to spend any afternoon.

Without further ado, here are 5 of JOE’s favourite Mexicans, with thanks to KP Nachos.

Javier Hernández

The Little Pea may be gone from Manchester United, but he is not gone from our minds. Now plying his trade with Bayer Leverkusen, we prefer to remember the better days when the striker was ripping up the Premier League.

Salma Hayek

The actress has wowed us in great films such as Frida and Once Upon a Time in Mexico and she also gets top marks for being good craic on Instagram.

Jorge Campos

They say that you have to be a little eccentric if you are a goalkeeper… over Campos’ illustrious career, he proved himself to be more than just a little eccentric. A brilliant ‘keeper though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lwCCbgj5uo Clip via CasiIK 2.

Yanet Garcia

This Mexican weather lady recently hit headlines for being really… good at meteorological stuff.

Guillermo del Toro

Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy are just two of the fantastic movies del Toro helped bring to life.

He is a master at the atmospheric and has had way more hits than misses.

See. Mexico is pretty amazing. Great people, great weather and, of course, great food… especially nachos. Celebrate the day of the nacho with KP Nachos on October 21.
