WHAT TO EAT IN REAL DE CATORCE
The local gastronomy offers a sample of the extensive cuisine of San Luis Potosí and is characterized by a combination of indigenous and Spanish recipes.
Here you can enjoy typical state dishes such as: asado de boda (pork in red sauce), zacahuil (giant tamale wrapped with more than 30 banana leaves, los tacos potosinos de pollo o queso (chicken and cheese tacos) and fiambre potosino (cold cuts).
One of the delicacies of this Magical Town are tacos de cabuches (flower of the biznaga), a dish that is only available in spring.
However, there are other dishes that you can savor throughout the year such as the typical enchiladas potosinas (made with corn tortillas and infused ground chile, often filled with cheese, cream, and lettuce).
Another typical dishes of Real de Catorce are fried dough balls stuffed with cheese, as well as gorditas catorceñas stuffed with pork rinds, potatoes with chorizo or barbecue, and nopales with tomato, cilantro, onion, oil, and vinegar.
We also recommend the rich desserts made with goat's milk such as cajetas and the delicious natillas (a custard dish typically made with milk, sugar, vanilla, eggs, and cinnamon).
Local drinks include aguamiel and colonche, a prickly pear liquor fermented in a clay pot.
