A Journey That Began Centuries Ago
The history of Mexican cuisine is as rich as its flavor.
Its origins trace back to pre-Hispanic civilizations, where corn, chili, beans, cacao, and squash formed the foundation of daily meals. With the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, the cuisine expanded with wheat, meats, dairy products, and new spices.
This fusion gave birth to one of the most diverse and celebrated culinary traditions in the world.
In 2010, UNESCO recognized Mexican cuisine as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, honoring its cultural, historical, and social value.
Ambassadors of Flavor Worldwide
Today, tacos, mole, tamales, and cochinita pibil are found not just in Mexico, but in every continent. Mexican restaurants have flourished in cities like New York, London, Tokyo, and Sydney.
Yet, while these places capture part of the flavor, they often miss the essence of home cooking — where every dish carries family stories, inherited recipes, and a personal touch that no commercial kitchen can replicate.
