All You Need to Know About Mexican Cuisines Before Travelling to Mexico

From meaty tacos to spicy broths, Mexican cuisine is famous for its delicious blend of herbs and spices. The spicy and cheesy flavours make them the ultimate comfort food. Here are the most popular finger-licking dishes you must try on your next trip to Mexico.

Popularly known as Nachos, Chilaquiles are a popular breakfast dish in Mexico. They are triangular shaped fried corn tortillas topped with green and red salsa, scrambled egg or pulled chicken and sour cream. This dish is the perfect combination of crispy and creamy.

2. Pozole

This traditional soup is stewed using hominy corn. It is typically cooked overnight after adding chicken, pork or vegetables to the broth. This allows the broth to soak in the flavours of the meat and corn. The soup is then topped with fresh lettuce, radish and onions along with lime, oregano and chili for the tangy flavour.

6. Tamales

In Mexico City, Tamales can be bought from the local men travelling around the city on their bikes, carrying huge pots of Tamales. Tamales are pockets of corn dough, stuffed with either a sweet or savoury filling, wrapped in banana leaves or corn husks. The fillings vary from meats and cheeses to fruits and vegetables. Depending on your mood, you can choose a Tamale which is either meaty, sweet or spicy.
