Answer:
Not real similar, other than both using peppery table sauces like Tabasco. Cajun cuisine has African, French and Southern influences; Mexican cuisine is derived from Spanish and Indian sources, with some Caribbean influence in the southern part of Mexico.
Most famous Cajun dish -- gumbo. You start this by making a flour-and-oil roux that you stir endlessly; that's a French thing; there are no Mexican recipes I'm aware of where you do anything like making a roux. Flour-based sauces/roux/gravies are just not a Mexican thing at all, you never hear of them (and I cook Mexican dishes constantly; often rather complicated ones like mole.) Gumbo features okra; okra is originally from Africa and gumbo is said to be descended from an African dish; there is no okra in any Mexican dish that I'm aware of.
Tabasco sauce, which is from Louisiana, is named after the Mexican state of Tabasco. There are similar bottled table sauces used in Mexico, but they're not as important as the more interesting and typical salsas. The Tabasco-type sauces are really the only similarity I can think of.
Cajun is more seafood and peppery, while Mexican is more chile spices I think.
cajun is spicy food with meat and sauce
mexican is will with some meat and little veggie
Mexican food is more than hot salsas and peppers.Mexican food has a wide variety of foods that has nothing to do with those things...so is Cajun food...of course they are not the same...the way the food is cook and the elaboration makes the difference
one's from caj and the otheris from mexico
