** Significant in that Gordito is twelve.

Latin American men outside the United States seem to have more 'staches than other ethnic groups. Whether it's GoodHairEvilHair, {{Badass| Mustache}} or just plain funny depends on the character, mustache, and viewer.

* Subverted in ''Zorro'' - Diego puts on a fake fancypants moustache when he disguises as Don Diego.

* In ''The Treasure of the Sierra Madre'', in the scene where the Mexican bandits are asked for their badges they all have mustaches.

* In ''WapsiSquare'', Monica's [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/02122003/ Mexican uncle]] has a rather impressive mustache.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* In ''SunsetRiders'' only three (unmasked) characters display mustaches, [[RealMenWearPink pink-poncho-wearing]] Mexican Cormano, who pairs it with a beard, and [[DastardlyWhiplash The Smith Brothers]], who are not Mexican, and therefore have to die.
* In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', Raul, who is Mexican, has a small mustache. This becomes more impressive when you remember that he is a Ghoul, and has lost all other hair on his body, in addition to being over 200 years old.

* Chad Warden claiming [[SuperMarioBros Mario]] to be Mexican in his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEJRBBni7J8 second video]].

** Kind of ironic when you consider that, being an American Indian, JohnnyDepp is technically closer to being an actual Mexican than the Spaniard AntonioBanderas.
*** Not necessarily. There are plenty of Mexicans who are more white/Spaniard than Indian.

** Also, the way to tell people of Mixed blood is because of their mustaches. Those of pure Native ancestry can't grow facial hair. This is the main reason many men let their mustaches grow.
*** Not entirely true. This troper who happens to live in Moustacheland knows quite a few people of pure Native ancestry who wear Magnificent Moustaches. And it has more to do with being macho than with showing your heritage.
