In Mexico, there are a lot of corn based foods, but there are a lot of different foods when you go to the more tropical Latino countries. You can find rice in most countries though.

Contrary to beliefs tacos and such are not very common in Mexico. Though rice is very common and another very common thing to find is some very spicy food.

Spicy food is not at all common in many Latin countries. - DonK, May 23, 2011
I have to agree with Tony... I go to Michoacan all the time and Tacos al Pastor, Tacos de Barbacoa, Tacos de Pollo... lots of tacos en Mexico. =) - DJ_Huero, May 23, 2011
But, not Tex-Mex tacos with ground beef and stuff... that's not mexican. - DJ_Huero, May 23, 2011

The foods that seem common are rice, beans, and platanos. Corn-based flour dishes (tortillas, empanadas, etc.) are common, but with local variations.
