Mexico Travel Guía

In addition to the typical national plates of Mexico, like the cocktails of shellfish or the snacks, the Mexican meal has a big regional variety. Do go to Puebla to savor its chocolate, to ask in any Oaxaca of its seven varieties of mass or to dare to eat the grasshoppers (fried grasshoppers), or to prove the “white fish” in Michoacán. The natural juices or the fruit drinks are very typical in the Mexican meal, as well as the tequila, an alcoholic beverage that not all the palates bear.

Despite the big gastronomic variety of Mexico, when you go to some restaurant or position of meal, you will meet many names that repeat restaurant after restaurant. The "fixed price menu" is offered in many positions of meal of Mexico, which it might compare to our “menu of the day”, including up to four desserts and water of flavors. Here there go some of the most typical plates. It is worth while proving all of them because they are of vice. Of course, taken care with the piquant one … The Mexicans use it even to eat watermelon (and it is not a prank!)

Drinks

Before the Spanish were coming, two of the most important drinks of the Mexicans were extracted from the aloe (the agave). The hydromel is a sweet juice that is drunk as goes out of the plant. When this one ferments it turns into “pulque“, an alcoholic beverage consumed by the Mexican natives during more than five thousand years. The tequila, the most popular drink in Mexico, is extracted precisely from the agave. It was the Spanish who discovered this drink.

To be able to drink alcohol in Mexico it is essential to have more than 18 years. Also, in Mexico many alcoholemia control panel exists in the highways.

Also Mexico has a big drinks variety without alcohol. The water that makes use in the bars is usually of flavors (water of hibiscus, of horchata or of lime). Also do prove the batters (or “fruit drinks“, according to the Mexicans): They are the best!
