The Best Mexican Chocolate in Querétaro, Mexico
Chocolate was introduced to Europe in the 16th century, but the indigenous people of Mexico have been consuming chocolate for thousands of years. The Europeans went crazy for this natural caffeine source, and began experimenting with adding sugar, milk and cocoa butter to transform the drink into a solid form that could be eaten. While some may…

New Year’s Eve Celebration with Mexican Hospitality
Many of you probably had big plans to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Maybe it was a beach barbeque in Australia, skiing in Switzerland or one that we’ve talked about doing; celebrating in the Puerto del Sol of Madrid eating our 12 grapes at midnight. We, on the other hand, did not have any plans for…

Banking and Paying Bills in Mexico
For someone who does just about everything online, things were a little surprising when we first opened a bank account. The banking system is just different here. They don’t make it easy to open an account or use their website. They still seem to have some taboos against paying bills online, and the words “corruption”…

10 Dishes You Have to Try in Puebla (and the Restaurants to Try Them)
Puebla is known as one of the gastronomic regions in Mexico, and recognized under the UNESCO catagory of Intangible Heritage. The people of Puebla have been practicing their traditions for thousands of years, well before the Spanish arrived and even before the tribes of the continent were recording their history. Traditions of planting, rotating crops,…
First of all, a little surprised that a restaurant in an all-inclusive resort made the list. Second, I love mole and would love to try an aged mole. I still remember when Anthony Bourdain ate at Pujol
It does sound a little surprising, but many of the restaurants at hotels and resorts are owned or led by chefs. The different moles are very intriguing. I personally like the aged mole the best.
I am so intrigued by Le Chique (puzzle amuse, amaze) and hope it opens when I’m able to visit Cancun again. I can see why all of these restaurants in Mexico made the best in Latin America list.
I’m curious about Le Chique, too! I’ve heard of some restaurants in Spain creating this Cirque de Soleil like atmosphere.
These all sound like amazing restaurants and the food looks delicious. We actually had one of our best meals of all time in an all-inclusive resort in Dominican Republic so I think I’d like to try Le Chique.
I love the Dominican Republic! The seafood in Mexico is just out of this world!
Love this list! I’ve eaten at Pujol and Quintonil and loved every bite of it! Cant wait to try more on this list! I missed out on Sud 777 and Rosetta when I was in CDMX – too many things to eat! So little meals 🙂
Yep! You summed it up perfectly! too many things (and places) to eat!
I’ve attended an event hosted by the tourism office from Guadalajara and they brought some chefs with them. I was blown away by the dishes. You just proved that I really need to revisit Mexico for a culinary tour!
Wow! What a dream event!
It may have cost a lot to write this up, but worth every penny. Definitely an exploration worth continuing. That duck at sud 777 has me salivating.
