In that "cute" beginning, we see some funny sight gags with our hero serenading his girl down south in Mexico, strumming his guitar in a unique matter and then literally getting "cold feet." However, his fantasies give him the nerve to go inside and play for her where we see more tricks with his guitar and some humorous dancing by the girl, who dances like Pee Wee Herman in a few spots. This goes on and on and finally he laves and another suitor comes by, but the girl obviously doesn't like this guy....
Sylvester Cat won't allow starving Mexican mice access to a cache of cheeses on a ship and prompts a challenge by Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in Mexico. Speedy makes several raids on the ship's stores by outsmarting Sylvester again and again.
The Tamale Vendor is a 1931 Comedy short.
When the cat's away the mice will play, and are on their way across the kitchen to the cheese in the refrigerator, but the cat's not away and Katnip makes his appearance and runs the mice away. Of course, Cousin Herman ---or 'Hoiman as his Brooklyn cousins call him--- shows up and he is more than a match for Katnip.

In 2009 her son, Marcos Reyes Villatoro, searched the entire country for the family. His search for the Reyes family is more than curiosity; it's his obsession. Like many Latinos in the U.S., Marcos has the need to know on a deeper level, What does it mean to be Latino? He searches for his roots. And what he finds is not pleasant. His family was involved in the Salvadoran struggles in a way he'd never dreamed.
