Mex food with lots of raw veggies?

Please forgive me upfront if I sound super dumb 🙈

Is there a good go to website or something I can Google (like regional type food or type of food name) that is mostly like... "Fresh" type Mex food? I mean ones that don't include a lot of cheese or beans, and feature a lot of fresh/raw or lightly cooked veggies (even aguachile/ceviche style)

I've been craving the flavor profile of lime/cilantro/tamarind/jalapeno... Spicy/sour...

I love shrimp tacos, aguachile/ceviche, the pickled onions/carrots/jalapenos (I dunno what it's called)... And I've been really wanting more stuff along those lines but all the places near me to order from are super cheese/bean heavy or slathered in thick sauce stuff and I just want something that's crunchy and fresh and vibrant and possibly mouth burning I dunno lol I'm not scared to make stuff just looking for ideas on where to start

ETA - I also love posole (I've only made the verde) -essentially I'm a sucker for anything with a bajillion fresh toppings.. Since I got preggo I've been very meat avoidant but trying to find ways to mask the meat so I'm not living off of eggs lol

Uniqueish but not too out there boy name?

I'm having a hard time with the boy names (girls seem to have more variety 😅)

​

I first thought

Leon (fiance is RE fan, but he thinks it's more of a pet name)

Liam (short for William after my dad, but my oldest has a friend named that)

Kai

And then I got super stuck on River (I know, I know ... But for some reason I'm obsessed and everyone I've mentioned it to seems okay with it??)

​

My youngest was thinking Asher (but my dude dated an Ashley which sounds to similar for me)

​

I dunno... I don't want to do something super common (my daughters are Elysia and Persephone)

But I don't want my boy to grow up and hate me Everytime he puts on a job application and people are like... Huh.

​

I've got six months to decide but putting out my feelers I guess, I've looked at the baby name lists and all the uncommon ones just sound a bit... More out there than I'd like?

​

I also liked Jax but already named my cat that, and Xander too but my dude didn't seem to be a fan

​

I dunno.. help? Lol
