Garnacha Gourment - Mexico City

“Los 3 Sabores De’ Fredy,” -- I really like living in my neighborhood, , not only because it is a great location, but one can find all types of food: for example there is a small 1 ½ blocks from my apartment that really has some great tasty Cuban food and it is not very expensive. I go there often, at least twice a week for either lunch or dinner. The food is great, cooked when ordered and the service is very timely and friendly.

The owner of the place is – Fredy Alberto Martinez – who is originally from Guatemala and has made Mexico City home now for several years. Though the place is known for Cuban food, one can also have Mexican and Guatemalan food as well which is why the place is called the Los 3 Sabores De’ Fredy (The Tree Tastes of Fredy).

I highly recommend this place and please do ask for Fredy to say hello for he will accommodate you well. And do tell him you read about his place on my FB page. PS: I get no commission!!! LOL

For more information: do a Google search - Los 3 Sabores de Fredy.

Living in Mexico City – I have eaten a lot of Pozole BUT the other day, I had the BEST Pozole I ever here in Mexico City at a place called: “El Pozole de Moctezuma.” Pozole Moctezuma is not a located in regular restaurant or café, but in an apartment located in a normal looking building where people live. Arriving at the address, I wasn’t sure I was at the right location until I read the buzzer on the building where I read, “POZOLE.”

I tried the green pozole because this place specializes …”in pozole from the state of Guerrero, which is typically made with a green broth based on tomatillos, a small, green, tomato-like fruit with an oniony skin and a puckeringly tart flavor.”

Too, El Pozole de Moctezuma is located in Mexico City’s Col. Guerrero and is across the street from Plaza Garibaldi – yes the place with all the Mariachis are found. Place has been in business since 1947 – that’s 73 YEARS AND, AND get this: OPEN only from 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM Monday – Saturday.

A MUST stop for POZOLE lovers: more information, read the article written by BEN HERRERA: https://culinarybackstreets.com/cities-category/mexico-city/2014/el-pozole-de-moctezuma/

I love here in

At La Tonina, a humble, lively locale that opened its doors 70 years ago in San Rafael, a panoply of eight guisados are offered as fillings for house-made flour tortillas. They represent several northern states: Sonora, Nuevo León and Sinaloa. Northern cooking relies on simple ingredients and a sele...

Sin importar de qué latitud de la República venimos, todos aquellos que vivimos en la Ciudad de México somos garnacheros de corazón. Nadie puede jactarse de ser un verdadero capitalino si no incluye en su dieta antojitos elaborados con tortillas, frijoles, carnitas, pastor, chorizo, queso, nopalitos o cualquier otra fritura que se apodere de las esquinas de la urbe.

Garna Show juntará en un espacio a las garnachas más populares de cada delegación que constituye la Ciudad de México.

HERE IS AN INTERESTING BLOG POST: Insects: The new protein source? She writes, "When I was in Mexico City a few months ago, I ordered some guacamole with a twist; sprinkled on top of the avocado-rich treat were some roasted, salted chapulines (that's Spanish for crickets). ...

Bugs could replace meat, but would you eat them?

Suddenly street food is cool. Perhaps it’s a reaction to lofty trends like molecular gastronomy, vegetable foams and chefs in lab coats. People are ready for more accessible cooking. Some call it street food. Hugo Ortega, a home-schooled chef from Mexico, presents the most recent and best book on the topic in “Street Food of Mexico.”

I love POZOLE and if you love POZOLE, check out this story by Ben Herrera.

"El Pozole de Moctezuma," a soup house that’s been in business in Mexico City since 1947! I love this part, "The only indication that this is the right place is a call button on a panel at the main entrance with the single word “pozole” listed on it."
