Best Answer

Ms-13 & Surenos 13 are two different Hispanic gangs that are both under the Mexican Mafia. Surenos are a mostly Mexican gang & MS-13 are a mostly Salvadoran, Honduran & Guatemalan gang.

*they rep 13 cause the letter M is the 13th letter of the alphabet and the M represents Mexican Mafia.
