One weekend I was curious about how a Hispanic birthday party wouldn't be a party without certain necessities. Seeing some of the responses on the KLAQ Facebook page had me losing calories from laughing so hard.

I believe a Hispanic birthday party isn't a party without a pinata filled with Mexican candy. Clearly, I am still a kid at heart because that is a must for me while others had different answers.

Well, it is clear to me that the biggest and most important necessity to be considered a real party is alcohol. Clearly, that seems to be the number one thing that is a must-have necessity according to the Facebook comments.

One of the many locals James Pacheco had mentioned the standard party plate of food. You should know by now that plate would consist of barbacoa, rice, beans, chile con queso, and your tia's red salsa that's hotter than the Sun.

Plus, a few locals mentioned that it isn't a party without the hilarious borracho uncle. Another funny reply came from Isaac Molina who said beef between family members which some of us know all too well.

Another necessity that was mentioned a few times by Nikki Marie, Rose Seip, and Moni Drea Orozco was music. So I guess to sum it all up the top 3 vital necessities that make a Hispanic birthday party are drinks, music, and food.
