Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Green chicken enchiladas (Enchiladas verdes)

    • imaluckyducky on May 16, 2021

      5 stars. Fantastic recipe to follow, did a side by side comparison for the salsa verde with the Serious Eats version and I didn't make any changes to this one. Made a 8x8 pan with no leftovers.

  • Fideo noodles in chipotle-tomato sauce (Sopa seca de fideo)

    • RachaelN on December 16, 2023

      This was simple to make and delicious. Instead of peeling fresh tomatoes, I just used canned which made the recipe go much faster.

  • Crispy carrot tacos (Tacos dorados de zanahoria)

    • roroj1 on October 08, 2020

      This recipe is so so simple but tastes absolutely incredible. I had some trouble keeping the tortillas together when rolling but it was worth the hassle!

    • meggan on October 18, 2020

      These taquitos are surprisingly good. Make sure you get good corn tortillas that don't fall apart when rolled.

    • Skamper on January 06, 2021

      Totally agree with other reviewers - delicious, but really difficult to keep the tortillas together.

Publishers Text

Eat Mexico is a culinary love letter to one of the biggest cities in the world—a chaotic, vibrant place where residents eat from sidewalk grills and stands, and markets and casual restaurants serve up fresh, hot food daily. In this book, journalist Lesley Téllez—who also runs her own food tour company in Mexico City—takes you through the city's most classic dishes, offering recipes from her favorite haunts on the streets, in city markets, and in small, homestyle fondas.
,br>Many of these dishes are items Americans may not recognize: the football-shaped, bean-stuffed corn tlacoyo, topped with cactus and salsa; the tortas bulging with turkey confit and a peppery herb called pápalo; beer-braised rabbit, slow-cooked until tender. The book ends on a personal note, highlighting the creative, Mexican-inspired dishes—like roasted poblano oatmeal—that Lesley cooks at home in New York with ingredients she came to know in Mexico.

With more than 100 recipes, on-location photography and text written in a friendly, personal tone, Eat Mexico is a must for anyone who loves Mexico, its food and unique urban culture.
