Positioning Yourself

An authentic Mexican restaurant is the subculture I decided to use for this assignment. I chose this site because I am debating on weather or not to my research on the Ball State's Latino culture for the remaining assignments of this class. Some of the fixed positions that might affect what I see is my race and social class. I am not a custom to the culture except for maybe their food.
I have been to several Hispanic countries some for leisure and others for missions work. I enjoyed everything about the time spent there and learned a lot about the people there.

Sounds like a good idea. The thing to be asking yourself when you go there is 'How authentic is this atmosphere?' I know a lot of ethnic restaurants 'americanize' themselves to appeal to more people. Porte Viarta is one that is probably pretty close. It's a little plainer and there are several Hispanic employees.
