Mexican Street Cuisine

Exploring a country's cuisine is one of the best ways to truly experience its culture. It allows us to immerse ourselves in the everyday flavors of Mexico and discover the richness of neighborhood meals enjoyed on its vibrant streets.

Mexico's gastronomic culture through a variety of street dishes

Mexico is renowned for having some of the world’s most exceptional street food. Street food represents an essential and authentic facet of Mexican cuisine, deeply rooted in the culture and recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. As we embark on this culinary journey, our senses will evoke the diverse characters who passionately vend Mexican street food, from the aromatic tamales and atole to the colorful fruit vendors, tricycle riders on the beach, and the taco-sellers with their baskets.

This course will treat you to a diverse array of dishes, crafted from a plethora of ingredients such as corn (in its white, yellow, blue, and black varieties), tomatoes, epazote, nopales, and a variety of chiles. The ultimate goal is for students to grasp the essence of Mexican street cuisine, immersing themselves in its bustling streets and lively markets through visually appealing preparations, tantalizing aromas, and unforgettable flavors.
