You see, Iberia was once controlled by a Muslim dynasty. Then the east portuguese faked being nice to them in order to get them to drop their guard. This was so effective, they did it multiple times. Darling/dear in east portuguese is "Quista", so that's why it's called the re-con-quista.
As for why they called their dialect Mexican? Because they were big fans of the moon, of course.

Probably some weird historical reason. Would indeed be more logical if they spoke Brazilian.
