/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Why?
Just why?

What part of Mexico are you going? I can recommend you some places

Where to start...

Try menudo, Chili con carne, cheese enchiladas, red/green chili burros (enchilada style if you like the sauce on the outside aswell), Carne asada, bean burritos, chicken/beef quesadillas, red chili frybread, the obvious tacos and tostadas...

With a hearty helping of Spanish rice and refried beans on the side with some queso Blanco on top.

I'm sure an actual Mexican can help with more. I'm just a gringo from north of the border. Its all delicious.

Oh ya, also tamales and fried peppers.

>>6668532
Most of those are tex mex tbh so you won't find them in Mexico

I'll start with the basics :

Adobo. There are hundreds types of adobo with the sweeter ones being the best

>>6668538
That's only half true. If you're in a tourist popular area (basically any place not overrun with cartel) you'll find everything, including fish and chips.

>>6668532
He said Mexico, not New Mexico

>>6668554
Then there's tacos. I think this might be Mexico's strongest tradition. The standard ones being al pastor, carne asada, carnitas and fish tacos, but you can find lamb, octopus, blood sausage, and endless variety of tacos.

you want good mexican food just go to california

>>6668572
Pescado Zarandeado. a Fish cooked under coals usually made with pureed chiles and soy sauce, some put mayo or butter

>>6668572
>standard
>no mention of offal

>>6668580
welp

>>6668580
Chile en Nogada. mexico's national dish

>>6668560
I've had pretty much all of what I listed south of the border as well...

I don't pretend that I've been everywhere in Mexico but a lot of what I listed is there. I guess it depends where you go.

>>6668601
But you're from New Mexico, right?

>>6668601
>red chile frybread

pls just admit you were wrong

>>6668417
What part of Mexico are you going?, Mexico have a lot of dishes that you can only get in some places.

But in general get: Pozole, Menudo, Tacos of everything you can get they are fucking delicious (eye, tongue, cachete, al pastor, etc), tortas ahogadas, lonche de pierna, grass hoppers quesadillas, birria, barbacoa, chilaquiles en salsa verde, enchiladas, and don`t get into mall-food shit, explore the streets, Mexico is all about street food.

>>6668602
Arizona.

>>6668606
That I had in Nogales which I admit was part Indian frybread. But the best menudo, echiladas, tacos, and tamales I've ever had were in Mexico. Same with Carne Asada.

But please tell me more about how none of that is served in Mexico...

>>6668640
those fucking enchiladas are missing an egg or a piece of bisteck

>>6668685
those are chilaquiles

>>6668642
You won't find wet burritos in Mexico outside of MAYBE tourist shitholes . And what are cheese enchiladas? care to show a pic

>>6668692
Yeah. I meant to say that. They still need a fried egg or something.

>>6668640
Don't forget that every one should go to a Mexican restaurant as well since its pretty much booming everywhere in Mexico.

best Mexican I had in Mexico was Nico's in Mexico City and the food rivals anything your grandma or mother makes.

>>6668702
>put an egg on this shit just because
Goddamn hipsters have invaded mexico too?

>>6668725
>>6668725
>>6668725
Maybe because chilaquiles is a common breakfast food and eggs is a way of life in Mexico?

>>6668694
Just Google it. Its pretty much a deep fried corn/flour tortilla with cheddar and queso blanco inside and out with red sauce. Those I get from a local Mexican restaurant.

I had a Red Chili Burro with red sauce coating it outside La Paz that my friends grandpa made us while we were visiting Baja that was delicious.

>>6668741
>la paz
its a tourist destination

and wet burritos are an american invention.

>>6668765
Well my friends grandfather isn't American, though he could have made it that way for us specifically for all I know. I just ate it.

>>6668640
You will get sick eating street food in Mexico , or drinking unbottled water, or even having vegetables washed in tap water.
Take whatever dewormer or whatnot your embassy recommends.

>>6668799
Gringos go to Baja all the time and never complain about the street food.

Sonora has the best meat.

>>6668725
>putting egg on food is "hipster"

>>6668538
the only thing he listed that was tex mex was chili con carne

>>6668725
Chilaquiles is just huevos rancheros without egg

>>6668509
I'm going to Puerto Vallarta

STOP THIS YOU FUCKING CUCKS

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>6669067
and flybread m8

eat shit fuck face

>>6669231
fuck of to r9k stupid frogposter

>>6669205
>mfw a gringo was drinking coronas and margaritas in a resort near me

Well I guess its not as bad as baja sur, cancun and rivera maya so you can still find decent Mexican around there. The downside of PV is that the food scene is still the same so you'll have to rely on the same joints every time

Uh..

El Arrayan is the best authentic Mexican in town tbh. Its a regional place so you can get a taste of Mexico.

Here's the website :
http://elarrayan.com.mx/en/menu.php

I recommend the shrimp in a peanut sauce, Aguachile, plaintain empanadas, duck tostadas, mole, barbacoa and duck carnitas. I love their tamarind salsa. best I've tried.

Cerveceria Union is a good local brewery with great seafood and tacos along with other mexican dishes.


Yucateco for Yucatan cuisine

panchos takos for the best al pastor in town and a great pineapple salsa

cuetos seafood for a great typical mexican style seafood joint

http://www.mariscoscuetospv.com/menu.htm


rio grande for the best pescado zarandeado in town and a pretty good crab enchiladas

http://www.restaurantriograndevallarta.com/en/menu.html

If you do have the money, cafe de artistes is the best place to eat IMO. pretty expensive but a good modern mexican place.

>dat duck in a guava tamarind arbol sauce

and mariscos cisneros for another mexican seafood joint. great seafood stuffed chile relleno taco
There's more tbh but those come to mind. Other than that, you have to hit the streets. the seafood is not on the level of Mexico city, puebla or tijuana but its good.

>>6669232
not really. that's just generic indian food

>>6669469
different tribes m8

>>6668417
Not real tacos in your pic. Try tlayuda, pozoles, cabrito, tequila and mezcal.

>>6668590
No its not stupid poblano. Only yours pipope

>>6668702
No it does need egg. Why are you shitty fatmerican?

>>6668417
Enjoy being stabbed, shot, caught up in gang violence and turned into a drug mule.

>>6669107
Truth

>>6669709
I'm Mexican retard. Chilaquiles is usually eaten with bistec or egg

>>6668640
>Mexico is all about street food
top kek
You must have never been an invited guest to anything like ever at all.

>>6668650

>>6670040
What year do you live in? 1920? Street food is big in Mexico, and i'm not him

>>6670050
Within 3-4 km from where this recording was taken
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeelZaaV8CI

I'm craving for some peanut mole. with lamb, goat or even some pork

>>6669784
But chilaquiles itself is just the soft tortilla in salsa.

>>6671560
captain obvious strikes again

OP: the crispy tacos you posted are Amercican or texmex

I don't like mole and I'm mexica. Is there something wrong with me?

>>6672972
Nope. Different people like different things.

>>6670050
>1920
If it was 1920, there'd be no fucking food.

He was poking fun at the fact that the guy he replied to only eats street food because no one invites him for even more authentic homemade food

>>6668538
So, if you know what's there, why not just fucking say so? You didn't list anything, ya faggot. You don't seem like a great source.

>>6673016
I did in another post tbh

>>6673004
street food is big in Mexico , and one of the best in the world. While eating comida casera at someone's house is a nice experience, it is MUCH MORE accessible to eat a bowl of goat stew, al pastor tacos or roadside chicken from a vendor/truck/stall. Mexico is mostly about street food, because its what they do best
