pie and cake

Question

I would like to know the words for pie and cake in Mexico. I live in south central Texas and have been told pastel ( for both ), torta, tarta and empanada by Mexican nationals and Mexican Americans. Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Here is an article, rather a discussion, about this I found in WordRef. Look at the last entry at the bottom of the first page.

Amber, would you believe that in the culture where I live they say "pai" and "queque"? - Daniela2041, Dec 26, 2014

I wouldn't doubt it. I'm sure each culture has differences. :) - rac1, Dec 26, 2014
