Or try the chicharrón cooked at low temperature for several hours and then fried, accompanied by homemade honey infused with orange.

As for the tacos, they have their own decontextualized version of a dough made through an arepas process. Some tacos are made with arepa tortillas, accompanied by cochinilla pibil , whose main ingredient is achiote, which is what gives it the characteristic flavor and reddish color.

The tacos are accompanied by a bean sauce and two chili sauces: a salsa serrana and a ranchera – both of which are not too spicy due to a careful cooking process and specific salt to remove the spicy element that is the Chilli capsicum.
