Not at all. Each country within the region has its own ingredients and typical dishes that differ from the rest. There are however, some common ingredients such as wheat, beans, corn, rice, fish, pork, chicken and beef that were introduced during the European colonization of the region or "imported" from other Spanish colonies. For example, potatoes are native from Peru, while beans and chili were first cultivated in Mexico.

For example, Peru has the tacacho: A dish of mashed and kneaded green, roasted bananas with fried pork rinds. Mexico has the cochinita pibil: pork meat marinated in strongly acidic citrus juice, colored with annatto seed, and roasted while wrapped in a banana leaf. Both dishes have common ingredients, but are completely different; cochinita is unknown to Peruvians while the average Mexican wouldn't really now what tacachois.
