One of the best Mexican cookbooks I have encountered is called _Secrets
of Mexican Cooking_ by Elena Zelayata (I think it is sometimes also
called _Elena's Secrets of Mexican Cooking_); however it may no longer
be in print --- check your library, if you can't find it send me mail
and I'll forward publisher, address, etc.

Another excellent source of Mexican recipes is from either Sunset or
Lane books (I forget which, although I think it is the latter) by
Barbara Hansen.  Ms. Hansen has been the Mexican food editor for the
Los Angeles Times for many years and is one of the truly great Mexican
food authorities despite her gringo heritage.  In fact, most of my
favorite recipes have come from her column (her byline is Borderline)
in the LA Times but I guess that doesn't do you any good.

Most of the food served in Mexican restuarants in the US is known as
Sonora style or northern Mexican style and is found throughout the
states of Baja, Sonora, Chihuahua and others.  Many Mexican cookbooks
deal with regional Mexican cooking and if you are not familiar with
some of these other styles you may be surprised --- either :( or :)
