Central Mexico

A true cultural crossroads, Central Mexico is home to both the mega-metropolis of Mexico City and the colonial atmosphere in Aguas Calientes, 300 miles to the north. Named for its natural hot springs, Aguas Calientes is home to the San Marcos Fair, Mexico’s largest festival.

While any flavor can be sampled on the streets of Mexico City, many recipes from the Central Mexican plateau celebrate simplicity. Try Chiles Rellenos, a simple and delicious dish that lets the true flavor of its chiles shine through.
