    u know ur neighbors r gonna live because of the smell

    take him to a Mexican restaurant if you can.t cook it,

    You need to ask him what kind of dishes he likes, and it might be important to find out what region he is from because the cuisine varies greatly based on location. Northern Mexican food will look more familiar to Americans, while southern mexican food might seem a bit out there.

    You could go on allrecipes.com and browse around.
    Or, if at all possible, get ahold of his mother and ask what kind of foods he likes, and that she's prepared, and if she's willing to teach you how to make them.

    Go to the FOOD NETWORK Channel's website. They have any and everything to help you out. (I would do enchilada's). Good Luck! (Hint: Mexican food is better spicy!)

    chicken quesadillas!
    yum yum!
    a delicious feast for u!

    This is one of my favorites I think he will love it! Good Luck
