Mexico

Food, Drink shopping in Mexico

  1. A

    Fruitlandia

    Bring home some fresh traditional sweets such as ground, sweetened semilla de calabaza (squash seeds), tamarindo con chile (tamarind paste with chile), pepitorias (brittle sesame and peanut bars), candied limes, jamoncillo (milk fudge) and chilacayote (candied squash). Be sure to try the bright green biznaga (candied cactus), a local specialty.

    La Boutique del Café

    Selling the aromatic gold of 2000 small-scale chiapeneco farmers, this friendly coffee exchange can make a killer cappuccino or send you packing with bags of heady organic ambrosia. Try the Café Mam (around $90 per kilo), produced by an indigenous cooperative in the remote Motozintla area.

    Dulce Morelianos

    This old fashioned chocolateria is stacked with truffles, preserves, candied nuts and sugary chunks of candied peaches and pumpkin and women in ridiculous starched green uniforms patrol it.
