Hi,

When living abroad, tasting the local cuisine is part of discovering the country.

What is your favorite food in Mexico?

What is the local speciality?

Share with us the local tastes of Mexico and why not your best recipe.

Thank you in advance,

Priscilla

I love Mexican food. I also really like street vendor food. Give me a taco stand and I am a happy guy.

We live in Alamos Sonora- street food here is OK-- except the freshly made pork chicharrones and carnitas we buy at the Tianguis every Sunday- they are super delicious and eat them with hot corn tortillas and fresh聽 salsa de tomato, cebollita blanca picada, cilantro and chiles serranos.

Sounds yummy!聽 Cochinita pibil is so good. I love it and cook it sometimes- as far as green habanero chiles, you cannot find those in Sonora.

Well Priscilla...I lived in Oaxaca for 2 years and the state is renowned for its mol茅.
Mole is an ancient Indigenous cocoa bean derivative ground into a powder and mixed with animal fat plus oth ingredients to form a paste. It looks like chocolate but not the same flavour. You can cook it with any meat but most popular is with chicken. It's amazing...mol茅 Poblano. Oaxaca is famous for it and they make 7 different kinds of mol茅. One must be careful eating it because it is very heavy on the untrained stomach. The best states for food in Mexico are Oaxaca and Puebla.聽 By and large, Mexican food can't hold a candle next to Jamaican or Indian food in terms of diversity, flavour or cooking process but there are some interesting dishes. Provecho!
