Mexican Cuisine - A Celebration of Bold Flavours

In US alone, host to the widest diversity in food, Mexican is the most liked ethnic food type. As of December 2020, over 73,000 restaurants provide a Mexican menu, representing 11 percent of all restaurants in the USA.

Bold, Colorful and Vibrant

Mexican cuisine is indeed a worldwide sensation. The popularity of dishes like burritos, guacamole, salsa, and tequila is universal. The exotic element in this cuisine is overwhelming. A Mexican dish called 'quesadilla de huitlacoche' is made using a fungus that grows in corn. It also includes a range of edible insects like 'jumiles' (a field bug). One of Mexico's national dishes Chile en Nogada, which hails from the Puebla region, requires a complicated process where a grilled poblano chile is stuffed with a picadillo mix, then topped with a walnut-based sauce and pomegranate seeds. Mexican cuisine is a diverse and flavorful cuisine that is heavily influenced by indigenous ingredients and cooking techniques, as well as Spanish, African, and other European influences. It has a long and rich history that spans thousands of years, and has evolved over time to become one of the most popular and beloved cuisines in the world.
