Taxco is not just about silver and museums, it is also worth mentioning that this rich colonial city also offers excellent cuisine. Pre-Hispanic gastronomy blends with culinary influences brought by Spanish friars, resulting in a fantastic selection of delicious recipes, served in the many restaurants of Taxco. The famous and traditional jumiles (a kind of bug) besides being tasty are a delicacy, rich in proteins and are prepared in many different ways, including in spicy sauces, in mole (a tasty brown sauce), or just in a hot hand-made tortilla with a delicious chili salsa. Served in the traditional Taxco restaurants, they are among the most popular dishes with tourists. These small animals have a great significance for local people, so much so that they have dedicated a temple to them at the top of Huixteco hill, the highest peak in Taxco.
We also recommend trying the exotic dishes made with iguana meat. Like jumiles, you can get iguana tamales, moles, and many other preparations offered in the restaurants of Taxco. Accompany your meal with a refreshing Berta, the typical drink in Taxco. Prepared with tequila, honey, lemon, and mineral water, it is served in a long glass with frappe ice. They taste so good, it's almost impossible to drink just one, especially if you are relaxing on a balcony, enjoying a fabulous view of the city.
