Fresas: Mexico’s insufferable republican aristocracy
Update: 2025-05-15
Description
“Close the door, darling, you’ll let the riffraff in.”
The globetrotting elite are more or less the same everywhere, but Mexico’s fresas (literally, “strawberries” in English) have their own distinctive styles, norms, and accents. This all makes them unique… and often pretty deplorable.
In this episode of Mexico: The Podcast, Tavo and Alex plunge into the depths of Mexico’s most infamous social class/subculture.
