Our First Bites of Mexico 🇲🇽 (Part 1)

Mar 29

If there’s one thing that defines travel in Mexico, it’s the food—and nowhere is that truer than in Central Mexico. If you are looking for the “tacos, enchiladas, rice and beans” that you are used to from home, this is nothing even close to that. We have found that seafood (yes in Central Mexico) is as fresh as you would get anywhere. This diet is rich in protein and carbohydrates, but also offers plenty of fresh vegetables and excellent fruit. The mangos and pineapple are to die for.

From the cobblestone streets of San Miguel de Allende to the college city of Guanajuato, or the bustling old town part of Querétaro, food here isn’t just something you eat—it’s something you experience. It’s part of daily life, shaped by centuries of history, and served everywhere from street carts to tucked-away family kitchens.

Yes, there are plenty of high-end restaurants that come with high prices, but high prices do not always guarantee a better meal. We try and scope out places where the crowd is more on the local side and usually are not disappointed.
