This morning 12/12/24 la Superior Mercado supermarket website is down and not working, trying to see the weekly ad for groceries sales.
Recently moved and got fed up with the local bakeries' conchas. Made chocolate and matcha conchas. So delicious and definitely not dry 馃い馃構
Had this delicious dish at a restaurant in Izamal. The flavor of Chaya leaves was excellent.
my family and i are all feeling under the weather (cough, stuffy nose) and i need ideas on what meals to cook that will help with a fast recovery/feeling good.
i made caldo de alb贸ndigas for dinner.
Years ago I had a friends auntie who used to make what she called 'Mexican ketchup'
I swear it was a just can of tomato sauce, some dried peppers (but what kind?), garlic, oregano, and salt.
Does this sound like a thing? I'm asking cause it came to mind as a condiment to put on some tamales I scored at a road side stand.
ETA
Thanks friends. I ended up using an open jar of salsa I had in the fridge a friend had brought over to use that up.
I鈥檝e heard others describe awkward interactions with strangers when requesting recipes. Even some family members seem unwilling to share their secrets on that special dish. I remember even my own mother waited a few years before sharing recipes with my wife, as if she needed to be certain the marriage would stick before handing anything over! How do you and your family see it? You gonna tell me how tu abuelita made her mole?
My neighbor is from Mexico and I try my best to communicate with her in my high-school learned Spanish. I asked her what type of meat does she use to make her pozole because it is so tender. If I remember correctly, she said "ri帽on" and was pointing to the side of her body. Maybe she meant "guarnici贸n"?
I'm assuming she used pork belly but i have no idea.
What does everyone else use? Bonus points if you can share a recipe.
I moved from Texas to Florida and find it impossible to find pan de fiesta to make capitotada.
The Latin grocery stores here don't carry it because there's not much demand, and none of the bakeries seem to have it either.
My partner's mother insists on using it, and I want to make a capirotada that will knock her socks off this year.
Is there a reasonable substitute?
1st cuts. (Depending on the restaurant)
I鈥檓 looking for a simple recipe for the type of hot sauce that I used to get a places like Roberto鈥檚 and Alberto鈥檚 in San Diego anyone know?
Hey fellow Redditors,
As we dive into the holiday season, I wanted to share a piece of Mexican culture that brings warmth and joy to many families during this time: Menudo. This traditional Mexican soup is more than just a meal; it鈥檚 a symbol of love, family, and tradition.
Menudo is a hearty soup made with tripe (the lining of a cow's stomach), hominy, and a variety of spices. It鈥檚 often served at special occasions and holiday gatherings, where it serves as a comforting reminder of home and heritage.
In my latest article on Medium, I explore the history and significance of Menudo in Mexican culture, and how it brings people together during the holidays. Whether you鈥檙e a foodie, a history buff, or just someone who loves learning about different cultures, I hope you鈥檒l find this piece interesting.

Desayuno de campeones
Peep the concha slippers 馃槀
First time trying/eating Albondiga soup for the Bf and I. Used turkey meat instead of the traditional ground beef.
During the cruise, we had an oppurtunity to visit Ensenada. We had this ceviche by the road side. It is fresh. The sweetness and sourness balances out each other. A definite positive experience.
Me encant贸. Tu que opinas?
Homemade tortillas and pastor meat.
Made me some homestyle carnitas tacos. Man, some Carnitas con pina, salsa, y guacamole will always hit the spot for me. Since I鈥檓 on a diet, I had to swap out the regular tortilla for a keto one, because I鈥檓 on a diet pero it still came out great! The pineapple complimented the carnitas soo well, I thought only Al Pastor was for that, lol.
Hola:) como lo dije en el titulo, estoy intentando hacer platillos que comia en casa pero con productos de estados unidos. Actualmente soy foranea en una universidad en Texas y estoy batallando un poco en encontrar buenos productos para cocinar. No soy chef profesional pero he aprendido muchos platillos por mi familia y se los ingredientes que debe de llevar cada cosa. El problema viene cuando voy a la tienda y siempre tengo que encontrar algo que "se parezca a" el producto que estoy buscando. Otras veces si encuentro el producto pero esta hecho en estados unidos y no sabe igual. Las frutas y verduras a las que tengo acceso porque no tengo carro estan horribles. Quiero comer lo mas rico posible:( Ya me dan asco las hamburguesas, parece que el menu que tengo a mi alcance si no hago algo en mi departamento son comidas fritas, grasosas, con chorro de sodio o chorro de azucar
From the guy who brought you the Michelin Star tacos. On the left is Al pastor and on the right is carne asada. Enjoy!
