Coyoacán: Mole and Mezcal by Eduardo Palazuelos

Chef Eduardo Palazuelo has designed a unique tour of Coyacán, Mexico City, blending culture and culinary experiences for an enjoyable experience.

Coyoacán, steeped in colonial heritage, boasts churches, convents, and 16th-century houses adorned with colorful facades and traditional plazas. The neighborhood has a rich artistic legacy, having been home to prominent figures such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Coyoacán is known for its laid-back lifestyle, artisan markets, and diverse culinary scene. Visitors can enjoy traditional Mexican dishes, street food, and international cuisine in charming settings.

We'll start by selecting a traditional Mexican restaurant where we'll sample four different moles with tortillas and mezcal. Remember to let us know your seasoning preferences—but never say "I like it very spicy" to a Mexican chef!

Next, we'll visit a local fruit market showcasing rare regional produce. Alongside, we'll enjoy some appetizers, or "antojitos," with another mezcal tasting, offering insights into pre-Columbian gastronomy and regional cheeses. A culinary experience wouldn't be complete without some coffee and some sweets; churros are essential on any Mexican visit.

Eduardo Palazuelos draws inspiration from the rich regional traditions and cultures reflected in the moles, each characterized by local ingredients and family recipes. With an expertly curated selection, this tour promises a delicious exploration of Mexico's culinary heritage.
