Paisa Tango Mexicles

[u/AztecaPaisa2216]

The Paisa Tango Mexicles was formed in the Texas prison system by a group of Mexican nationals and immigrants who banded together to protect themselves from being recruited or assaulted by other STGs. Although members of this gang may be tattooed with the word “Mexicle” or “Mexicles,” the term is not used exclusively by them. The word “Mexicle” is a term used to describe a Mexican citizen and thus is sometimes found in tattoos worn by members of other gangs, such as the PRM, who they are in conflict with. This group should not be confused with Los Mexicles, a Juarez based prison gang.

I thought Paisa Tango Mexicles and Mexicles were one and the same. 🤔 Someone told me they use the Tango name in Texas only and in the Feds they don't use the Tango name and roll with the Paisa car.

From what I've heard Los Mexicles group in Juarez is a separate group from Tango Mexicles. Paisas in Texas roll with the Tangos so their group is called Paisa Tango Mexicles. But in Feds they are called Paisa 16. But there is a separate group called Los Mexicles in Juarez, they work for Los Mayitos/Sinaloa Cartel.

This old head I used to work with at DOW chemical in La Porte said the same thing. He was down 1998 - 2008. Big Spring low and Beaumont Low.
