Hello, Mextalkers! In this episode, we’ll tell you the legend of La Llorona—one of Mexico’s most chilling and famous stories, and one with roots that go back much further than you might think. Because long before “the weeping woman of the canals” existed, the Mexicas could already hear that same wailing on the nights of Tenochtitlan. It was Cihuacóatl, the Serpent Woman, warning that something truly terrifying was coming. We’ll tell you how that pre-Hispanic story transformed after the Conquest into the legend we know today—one of love, betrayal, and a pain that still hasn’t faded. And if you ever go to Xochimilco at night and hear something strange in the water… you’d better not turn around.

Hello, Mextalkers! In this episode, we’ll tell you the Mexica legend of the rabbit that stayed on the moon—yes, that figure you can see up there when the moon is perfectly round. But how did a tiny, ordinary little rabbit end up there? It turns out that one day Quetzalcóatl came down to Earth as a regular guy, without a crown or feathers, starving his ass off and without a single taco to his name. And it was that little rabbit, the scruffiest of the bunch, who offered him everything he had. We’ll tell you this beautiful story from Nahuatl mythology—and along the way, you’ll learn a ton of real Mexican slang. 🐰🌕

Hello, Mextalkers! In this episode, we tell the story of Don Refugio, a street taco vendor who had been standing on the same corner for thirty years with his griddle, his salsa verde, and his suadero tacos—no fancy menu, no waiters, no frills. One ordinary day, a well-dressed woman came by, ate three tacos, and left without saying much. Two months later, it dawned on everyone: Don Refugio had earned a Michelin star. His reaction? He asked if she was the one from the tire shop. We’re telling you this quintessentially Mexican story that’s sure to make you smile—and along the way, you’ll pick up a ton of real slang.

Hello Mextalkers ☕ In this episode, we’ll tell you the legend of the nopal—that quintessentially Mexican plant you see everywhere, even on the flag. But have you ever wondered why it has so many thorns? It turns out it wasn’t always that way. Those in the know say that the nopal used to be a good guy, giving everything without asking for anything in return… until travelers got too pushy and he had to set some boundaries. We’ll tell you how this generous guy got tired of giving and decided to protect himself—and along the way, you’ll learn a ton of real Mexican slang.

Hello Mextalkers ☕In this episode, we tell you the Mayan legend of the vultures—those rather ugly birds you see flying in circles and which, frankly, don't have a very good reputation. But did you know they weren't always like that? According to an ancient legend from Uxmal, these birds were beautiful, colorful, and cocky... until they messed with the wrong god.

We'll tell you how they went from being the coolest birds in the sky to eating nothing but garbage — and along the way, you'll learn a ton of real Mexican slang.
