As a Mexican, I really didn't like most of the clues. They could've been better and even more accurate. Some of them, even I feel it's intended to damage the image of the city itself.

I tend to disagree with that. Only two of these really paint their cities in a negative light (based on crime) otherwise, it’s mostly based on location for most of them. This could certainly be improved, but I thought overall the quiz was fine.

Just to clarify, Tequila is originated from a town named Tequila, 1 hour by car from Guadalajara
