French pals taking journey to get to pals in Mexico (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amigos

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pals in mexico' is the definition.
'amigos' can be an answer for 'pals' (I have seen 'Mexican pals ' mean 'amigos' so perhaps 'pals' could also mean 'amigos'). I am not sure about the 'in mexico' bit.

'french pals taking journey' is the wordplay.
'french pals' becomes 'amis' (I've seen this in another clue).
'taking' is an insertion indicator.
'journey' becomes 'go' (journey means to go or travel).
'amis' placed around 'go' is 'AMIGOS'.

'to get to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amigos that I've seen before include "Mexican buddies" , "comrades in Spain" , "Friends (Spanish)" , "Hispanic friends" , "Mexican pals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
