Mexican food pairs really well with lime. Margaritas have a ton of lime.

Other pairings work really well, too. Most would agree that a great full bodied red wine would goes really well with steak or lamb or other red meat.

There’s a whole body of study on which drinks pair with which foods, and which foods pair with other foods. If your local library has it, I’d recommend checking out The Flavor Bible by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page, which is a really useful reference guide for looking up an ingredient and seeing what other ingredients go well with it.
