hi Rosalinda, there is a ranchero singer lady called Maria De Lourdes, mexican, her eyes was the window opener for a tv show "Noches Tapatias". Ojos tapatios are large, brown, almond shape, large eyelashes, Guadalajara Jal is named after Guadalajara Spain, were the moors ruled, so ojos tapatios decend from the moor´s eyes. Another kind of ojos tapatios are the same but green instead of
brown, or blue. Or remember the song "spanish eyes". it aplies also.  Leticia Leon

It is true.  
The first thing I noticed when I first met my wife
(she is from Los Altos) was her big beautiful brown
eyes.  But of course, most Mexican women have
beautiful eyes.

face="Lucida Bright">"Ojos Tapatios" is a great complement. I've been always
told the same thing & yes my family is from Jalisco. It is suppose to mean
that you have very large beautiful eyes. The woman from Jalisco are known to
have the large eyes (it's a trademark). . . and I don't know why but it tends to
be true if you have "Ojos Tapatios" you must descend from
Jalisco.

Tapatios



Hi folks,

 

Within a month's time, I have heard two people mention this phrase about my
eyes.  I have never heard this description before, so to hear it twice in a
month was surprising.

 

In this first instance, I was at a mall cafe waiting for my sandwich when
the sandwich maker asked me in Spanish if I was from Guadalajara, since I had
"ojos tapatios".  I told him no, and after he shook his head, I did admit
that my family was from Jalisco (my grandma was born in Totatiche, but grew up
in Guadalajara).  He was quite happy, as it confirmed his
description.

 

On Christmas, I went to visit the same grandma, and there visiting her was
one of her friends, a Mexican lady.  My grandma was talking about me, and
the lady mentioned that I had "ojos tapatios."

 

Now, my family is not just from Jalisco--- I have family from Zacatecas,
Guanajuato, Aguascalientes, Michoacan, and San Luis Potosi.  So how did two
different people know about my Jaliscan descent?

 

I never thought of my eyes as beautiful or particularly interesting-- they
are plain brown, but the pupils are large.  My optometrist did tell me that
the reason why I have astigmatism is due to the largeness of my pupils (so
please don't think my eyes sound wonderful to have!). 

 

So, how did these people 'know'?  I can tell other attributes about
people from Mexico... my mom and brother are so light they burn in the sun, and
the famous "Montoya" nose on my mom's side of the family harkens back to the
indigenous of Mexico.  My brother's eyes, in contrast, are quite narrow,
and he is often mistaken as part Asian.  However, I have never heard of
"ojos tapatios."  And I never would have guessed I have them.  Has
anyone else heard of this term, and how do you define them?

 

Thanks,

 

Rosalinda
