Regional synonyms

Someone from northern Mexico, from states like Sonora, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, or Sinaloa. Norteños have their own accent, a strong ranching and border culture, a love of norteño and banda music, and a cuisine heavy on beef cuts you rarely find in the south. The term can be descriptive or worn as a badge of regional pride.
