One of the most representative dishes is pencas rellenas, made with nopales, meat, cheese and chorizo, and of course the nopal tortillas.
Another typical dish of Salamanca is fiambre (cold cuts), as in some other cities of Guanajuato, is made with beef, chicken and pork combined with different vegetables and bathed in a rich vinaigrette.
However, the most distinctive dish of this city are the enchiladas with cecina, a salty-tasting beef that is prepared roasted.
In Salamanca you must try the famous nieve de pasta (made in a copper saucepan combining milk, sugar, vanilla and honey), and the pitahaya and tuna sorbets.
If you have a sweet tooth, you can also eat the cupcakes made with puff pastry and cooked in a clay oven with a unique flavor.
