WHAT TO EAT IN OTUMBA
In Otumba, various ingredients are produced, such as beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, as well as nopales, prickly pears, lettuces, corn, and quintoniles, among others.
These products are used to prepare traditional dishes such as barbacoa, lamb mixiotes, snail mixiotes, grilled quail, mole, tlacoyos, and quesadillas with squash blossoms, mushrooms, and barbacoa.
In season, you can also enjoy maguey worms, ostrich meat, chinicuiles, escamoles, and snails.
This land still preserves the craft of the tlachiqueros, the guardians of the magueyes, who know how to scrape the plant's piñas to obtain aguamiel, from which pulque, Otumba's traditional drink, is made.
