Hoosier Mex (also known as Indiana Mex) is what Indiana, USA natives call their Mexican-American styled food. Similar to Tex-Mex food, Hacienda Mexican Restaurants which is solely based in Indiana, has been around since 1978 uses this term to describe their food offerings. While the corporate owners are not Mexican born or raised, they have coined this food classification to help inform non-Indiana natives (or those not located in the Goshen, IN · Mishawaka, IN · South Bend, IN · Plymouth, IN · Evansville, IN · Elkhart, IN · Kokomo, IN · Michigan City, IN · Warsaw, IN areas) that they are not, an "Authentic Mexican Restaurant" but rather, offer "their take on Mexican classics" and are Americanized Mexican styled, not-so-spicy, but craveable food.
