[phone rings] - Shh, kids, turn the TV down!
It's mi mamá, your great-grandmother,
calling from Mexico!
- [squawking] Hola, Rosa!
What a sight for sore eyes.
You haven't aged a day!
- Paco! You learned English?
- I watch a lot of cable!
"Call now for a limited time offer."
- Rosa! Hija!
I'm all packed for my trip to the U.S.
I can't wait to see you and the family!
- We can't wait either!
I'm going to make enchiladas just like you used to make.
- Gracias, mija.
I'm glad to hear you're carrying on
our family traditions!
Your cousin Tacho's niños
were just visiting from California.
They have no interest in our culture!
They just want to eat American food
and watch American television!
- Will Janet find her first mate
in "The Dream Boat"?
- They don't even speak Spanish!
- 'Sup! - [shrieks]
- What are we watching?
- My poor heart almost couldn't take it!
Thank goodness you raised your family right.
- [laughs nervously] Of course!
- Let me say hi to los niños! - The kids?
- C'mon, Janet! Go for Blake!
- Uh...
- [imitates static] - Sorry bad connection! Bye!
Ay, Sergio, what do we do?
If Mama Lupe sees this, her heart might give out!
- [squawking] Need a Mexican makeover!
- Hmm, I think you're on to something.
- Ronnie Anne, where are my clothes?
Is this one of your practical jokes?
- No, I thought it was laundry day.
But I did put a whoopie cushion on Abuelo's chair.
[fart noise] - Oop! Excuse me!
- Why are my chonies so fancy?
[whistling]
- I don't think these are my pants, but I like 'em!
And there are little toys on my shoes!
Whee!
- Buenos días! Time for breakfast!
all: Whoa!
- Good morning, Abuela!
What's with all the decorations?
And did you put these clothes out for us?
- It's "buenos días"! And yes!
What's wrong with embracing our traditions?
- I'm embracing them!
- No time for you to eat!
Shouldn't you be practicing with your band?
I thought you could learn some mariachi songs by dinnertime.
- Um, Abuela,
are these chilaquiles a little spicier than usual?
- [scoffs] It's just a little hot chile!
Ah! Hot, hot, hot!
- Growing up, we always ate spicy food.
I'm trying to build your tolerance.
- [laughs] You guys are wimps!
- [weakly] Yeah, total wimps.
[groans]
- Maybe I'll play it safe and stick with the pancakes.
[yells]
- They're jalapeño pancakes.
- [gasps] Milk!
- Say "Leche! Leche!"
- [gasps, babbles angrily]
- That's Carlitos' ghost pepper leche!
- Get it off! - Ow, my eye!
- Not "Ow, my eye." "Ay, mi ojo!"
- Ay, mi ojo. - Muy bien!
[sizzles] There you go.
That should take down the swelling.
[labeler popping rapidly]
- [gasps]
Why are there labels on everything?
- Oh, these are just to help you learn more Spanish.
- "Roberto." That's me!
[groans] Ow!
- Don't worry, I've got labels for everybody!
[all grunt anxiously]
- Let's make for the...puerta!
[all panting]
- Hey! Let me in!
[gasps]
[labeler pops]
She got me right in the...pompis.
- What is up with Abuela? - [giggles]
Whatever it is, I'm loving it!
She asked me to paint a mural
of the history of Mexico.
- I'm helping with historical accuracy.
Speaking of history, Abuela wanted me to teach you
all the full history of the Casagrandes.
[all kids gasp] - [inhales]--
Actually, I don't feel anything with these boots on.
- Okay we need to figure out what's going on with Abuela.
both: Mm-hmm.
- [grunts] Did you feel that?
- Nope, still nothing! - [grunts]
- [gasps] Familia, why are you in those clothes?
Go get dressed!
- Abuela, what's going on? - What's with the clothes?
- And the labels? - And the spicy food?
- Just do this for me, por favor.
- [squawking] She landed!
- It's too late. Mama Lupe is here!
I have to go pick her up.
- I thought you were excited to see your mom?
- I am!
I just hope she survives the visit.
- What? - Why?
- I didn't want to put this on you kids,
but if Mama Lupe finds out
we're not carrying on our family traditions,
she could... - [squawking]
Go adiós forever!
[all kids gasp]
- Once, my cousin Tacho gave Mama Lupe
fast food tacos.
The shock almost did her in.
- Maybe it's not too late. We can still pull this off.
We just have to get dressed, decorate the apartment,
and I have to learn Spanish.
- [squawking]
I'll feed you the words, you feed me the crackers.
- Deal!
[all cheer] - Gracias, familia!
[upbeat music]
Okay, Mama Lupe! Come on in.
- Bienvenida, Mama Lupe!
[festive music]
Que honor, bisabuela!
- Que muchacha tan bonita!
And you speak Spanish! Good job, Rosa!
- [squawking] You mean, "Good job, Sergio!"
Cracker me!
- See, Abuela? We got this.
- Oh, is Mama Lupe here?
- Mira! Mi prima Carlota!
- Uh, just practicing my folklórico, as I do!
- Que linda! - Ladies and gentlemen!
Get ready for the Lucha Libre Battle Royale,
featuring me, Carl el Chupacabra of Steel,
and El Super CJ!
[grunting]
- Esto si es Lucha libre! - She's lovin' it!
[both grunting] - Ooh! Ah! I got you!
- Ah! [all yelling]
- Well, they're a little clumsy,
but at least they're embracing our family traditions.
- Mama Lupe, why don't you meet us
on the roof in ten minutes?
Bobby-- - [squawking] Roberto!
- I mean, Roberto has a surprise for you.

- More hot sauce!

- I love that our roof always looks like this!
- Hola, Mama Lupe! I'm so glad you came.
This is my goat, Laaa-lito!
[chuckles] We're inseparable.
Let me get you a seat.
[both gasp] - Oh, gracias!
- Let me take those shoes.
Your feet must be tired.
- Here's some special enchiladas, extra spicy.
- Provecho, Mama Lupe!
- Mmm. Que rico.
Ahh! Ahh!
Que picoso! - I'm sorry, Mama Lupe!
- My bad, we may have over-spiced that.
But don't worry, that was just the first course.
Quick, order some tacos! - On it!
- [gasps]
- While we wait, musica!
La Banda de Abuelo!
- Uh, my band couldn't make it,
but I have a special guest guitarist,
Par...the produce guy!
[plays gentle melody]
- Que bonito!
[heavy metal music plays]
- [screams]
- Ay, no! Que horrible!
- Par, stop that! Whoa!
- What? Louder?
Okay! [laughs, cheers]
- Whoa!
- Ay, mi chivo!
- Okay, we called in the order. - [barks]

- [groans] - Are you okay?
- [squawking] - Sergio?
- [squawking] We're busted!
- Spanish flash cards?
You can't speak Spanish,
you don't know how to make enchiladas properly,
and that goat is clearly a dog!
all: Mm-hmm.
- This is worse than the time Tacho gave me
those fast food tacos!
- Someone order fast food tacos?
- Oh! Mi corazón!
- Ah, Mama! [all gasp]
- We're so sorry, Mama Lupe.
We were just trying to be Mexican enough.
- So your heart wouldn't, you know--
[mimics explosion]
- Is that why you did all this?
To make sure you didn't disappoint me?
all: Mm-hmm.
- That's exactly what a real Mexican family would do!
Being Mexican is not about eating spicy food
or wearing sombreros, it's about familia.
My heart has never felt... how you say?
[whispering] Mas fuerte.
- [squawking] Stronger!
[all gasp] - Paco?
What are you doing here?
- Mama Lupe needs a translator too.
- [squawking] What's up, primo?
- Orale!
I brought our favorite Mexican dulces,
now in six fun flavors!
- You have raised the most beautiful Mexican family
I have ever seen.
But I could teach them a thing or two.
[laughter, cheering]
- Ohh. Auxilio!
- Oh, that means get us some aloe vera!
[playing upbeat melody]
[all gasp] - Yeah!
Rock on, Mama Lupe!
- And now for the Mama Lupe Lucha Libre smackdown!
[yelling, grunting]
Still undefeated! [bell dings]
