I always joke that I should have been born Mexican or Italian because I love their food. But, I didn't grow up Mexican, so I'm not an expert on Mexican food. However, from everything I've researched, this Mexican cucumber recipe, known in Spanish as pepinos con chile y limon. It's sold by street vendors on the streets of Mexico, along with other snacks like esquites, to be a refreshing snack on hot summer days. Personally, I think it's a great side dish and serve it as a side for dinner rather than as a snack.
