The red bell pepper wasn't really my fav in this so the second time i made it i dodged it cause it ruined the flavor for me, without it it's sooo good.

It's alright but too many things to add and do plus jalapeno made it kinda spicy.

I liked the grape salad a lot more, yes i know it's not Mexican but it was more affordable.

There's literally so many things in this that there's no possible way it won't taste good since the amount of effort is clear.
