WHAT TO EAT IN XILITLA
When you visit this town you must try the zacahuil, a Huasteca delight.
It is a huge tamale that can measure more than a meter. It is filled with a mixture of meats seasoned with a wide variety of chilies and herbs.
Other options include the caldo xóchitl, a delicious soup made with shredded chicken and pieces of avocado, cilantro, tomato, green pepper and onion, and of course the enchiladas potosinas, prepared by dipping the tortillas in a guajillo chile sauce filled with cheese, cream, and lettuce and frequently served with potatoes, chorizo, and carrots.
One of the products that have come to give personality to Xilitla is a high quality coffee, there are several brands produced by small family businesses.
Although it is not the only drink that you can enjoy, there are other good options like the atole with flavors such as corn and pineapple.
If you want something with a little alcohol you can try fruit wines, including vino de jobo, a small fruit that grows in the region, as well as other flavors such as orange and capulín
