Among the most iconic dishes are: patitas de cerdo en vinagre (pickled pig trotters), pozole (brothy soup made with pork, hominy, and red chiles), chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers) and chicatanas (ants that grow during the rainy season), as well as the exquisite nanacates (wild mushrooms) and panela and coconut sandwiches.

Other delicacies that you can savor in this Magical Town are the enchiladas juquileñas, bathed in red mole and stuffed with minced pork, the cuachepil flower stewed with garlic, onion and tomato, barbacoa estilo Juquilla (Juquilla-style barbecue) and frijoles negros con codillo de pata de puerco (black beans with pork foot).

You can enjoy a wide variety of tamales. Here you will find chileajo, mole colorado, mole negro, chepil, mati de orejita and sweet corn and pumpkin tamales.

However, one of the things that have made Juquila famous is its dellicious pan de horno de leña (wood-fired oven bread). In the Barrio de Jesús there is one of the best bakeries, and the best thing is that by making an appointment you can learn how to make your own artisan bread. It is a double experience where you will learn a local tradition and also have the opportunity to taste it.

Desserts are also a very good option, since you can taste panela, plum, banana, peach, bitumen and chickpea sweet, as well as polvorones de manteca (cookies).

You can enjoy all these sweets with traditional drinks such as atole or a delicious chocolate generally consumed with water.

All these delicacies can be savored on the different restaurants around its main square and in the Market.
