Mexican Mafia itself only has about 300 maybe 500 members at the most & for a gang that's really low numbers, their numbers come in from the gangs that work under them. Surenos. Eighteen Street & MS-13 are gangs that work under Mexican Mafia. As far as Nuestra Familia they don't exist anymore most of the gangs that used to be under them have either joined the Bloods or are defunct.

Is mara salvatrucha better than mara 18?

I don't get how one can be better than the other when they're both under Mexican Mafia's control. I know Mara Salvatrucha aka MS-13 is a Salvadoran gang but that Salvadoran gang is controlled by the MEXICAN Mafia which is why they use the 13 at the end of their name. Eighteen St. has been under Mexican Mafias control from day one that's what most people get confused about they think Eighteen St. & MS-13 are their own alliance(which they're not) they're their own gang but they are under the Mexican Mafia........ *the Surenos are another gang under Mexican Mafia's control(most people think Sureno is it's own alliance) which again they're NOT u can't just bang Sureno without showing homage to Mexican Mafia


What does sureno stand for?

Sureno is a spanish word that in english translates to southsider, Surenos are also a mostly Mexican gang(any race can join though) that started in Southern California. They are controlled by the Mexican Mafia aka La Eme(Spanish for the letter M) which is why they use the number ''13'' cause the letter ''M'' is the 13th letter of the alphabet & the ''M'' stands for Mexican Mafia. Their Rivals are any gang that is under the Bloods street gang, mainly Nortenos(spanish word which in english translates to northsider). *Surenos sometimes shortened to ''Sur'' which stands for:S.U.R.(Southern United Raza) or S.U.R.(Strong United Revolutionaries)
