The Taste of a Nation


As Mexican fine dining has taken the world by storm, foodies have been drawn to the movement largely due to the vast flavors and culinary techniques at play. A rich pre-Hispanic tradition existed long before the Spanish arrived in the 15th century, with over 500 years since then for global influences to take shape. What results is a mouthwatering mélange of spices and cooking styles, dishes created with versatility at heart, allowing today’s chefs to creatively riff on classics, while maintaining an authenticity that can only be grasped in tasting.
