WHAT TO EAT IN PARRAS DE LA FUENTE

The oasis town of Parras de la Fuente is home to the oldest still-functioning winery in the Americas.

The name of this winery is Casa Madero, which was founded in 1597.

Thanks to the wine industry, European culture has been reflected in the region's gastronomic identity, but at the same time, Parras has preserved its pre-Hispanic roots, including different types of chili peppers such as cascabel, pasilla and guajillo in many of its iconic dishes.

Local delicacies include pork tamales, cabrito salseado (roasted goat kid), chorizos (pork sausage), tacos de cabeza (head tacos), and barbacoa de lengua de res (beef tongue barbecue).

Perhaps the most famous is the asado de puerco, made with braised pork leg or shoulder with a sauce that combines various chili peppers and is generally accompanied with flour tortillas.

Parras is known as the Eden of the north and grapes and walnuts are are also importat ingredients in many dishes. You can enjoy various sweets that combine walnuts, pine nuts, figs and grapes.

Of course we advise you to accompany all your meals with an excellent wine from the region.
