WHAT TO EAT IN TORREÓN
Due to the different settlements of foreign ethnic groups in the area, the gastronomy is very varied.
There are influences of Spanish, Lebanese, Arab, Argentine, Brazilian, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Mexican cuisine.
One of the typical appetizers of this city are corn or flour gorditas, or burritos, both are filled with various stews such as tinga, potatoes with chorizo, chicharrón, rajas or beans with cheese, among many others.
Among the most common dishes are: tortas filled with pork carnitas and avocado, the “discada”, a mixture of grilled meats (often sausage, chorizo, ham, bacon and flank steak but can include a different variety of meats) as well as onion, pepper, jalapeño and sometimes cheese. Discada ideal for meat lovers. Another important dish is fritada and cabrito, fried lamb tripe with spices, accompanied with flour tortillas.
Of course a must-try are the very good quality beef cuts.
If you like the desserts in Torreón you can taste the pulque bread that incorporates this pre-Hispanic drink in the preparation of delicious breads.
