Claim: Barbecue restaurants in Central Mexico serve barbacoa-style foods, originating with the Arawak-speaking Taíno people, and close daily when they run out of product.
Evidence: In Central Mexico, barbecue outlets are common and numerous in midsize to large size cities, and often exist at roadside stalls in outlying areas of the metropolitan area. These outlets may offer barbacoa-style foods. Barbacoa (Spanish: [baɾβaˈkoa (listen)) is a form of cooking meat that originated in the Arawak-speaking Caribbean with the Taíno people, from which the term "barbecue" derives. In this region, when quantities of meats are depleted, the restaurant or outlet typically closes.
