Summer has fully arrived in Mexico City, and that brings a wonderful transformation. Everything turns vibrant green, the air is filled with the fresh scent of rain, and the weather becomes delightful. It’s one of the most beautiful seasons for morning walks, as long as you return before the afternoon showers. These rains help cool down the high temperatures and signal the ideal time to enjoy a bowl of pozole.

Amigos, 80% of Mexicans experience intestinal issues (we didn’t make this up, this figure comes from research conducted by the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition). Several factors contribute to this situation, including changes in our diet over the past few decades and increasingly sedentary and stressful lifestyles.

Smell and taste are the senses that can instantly transport you to specific places, moments, and people. What might seem disgusting and unpalatable to some is, for me, one of the most beautiful memories of my childhood: tongue tacos. More specifically, I only love the ones from “Tacos Don Fello” in the Coyoacán market on Higuera Street.

Amigos, I’ve reached a point where I find myself doing things my mom used to do — things I swore I would never do. This week, during one of the hottest weeks of the year, I prepared the warmest dish I could think of, just like my mom and many other Mexican moms would do. I nearly melted from the heat, but it was totally worth it to enjoy a delicious bowl of mole de olla. Mole de olla is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. It’s easy to eat, delicious and very nutritious.

Amigos, you ask and Taste of Mexico delivers.
