I enjoyed Vampires of El Norte, but felt the pacing was off. Very slow, then very quick. I story overall I did like it. I like the incorporation of Mexican culture, language, food, folklore and customs. The historical colonialism attempts was a great addition. The love story was a very slow burn, but I loved the connection between Nestor and Nena. Can I get a Nestor on my side please? Very level headed and takes the time to think and admit mistakes. The vampires were odd and I'm still left with questions. But overall, a good story. I liked, but didn't love, and some things just didn't make sense.
