MAGUEY
This plant, of the Agave gender, lives in a semi-desert
environment with few rains. It reaches its maturity
between 8 and 12 years, and flourishes only once,
dying soon after. Within its wide prickly protected
leaves, called pencas, lie the nutritious substances
that allow it to survive in such a hostile environment,
as well as sheltering a series of insects, like magueyero worm and mead ant, both eaten by men.
CHINICUILES
It is a plague that attacks the maguey from the region, the Agave salmiana. They are red caterpilars of
about three centimeters long, the larvae of the insects called chinicuiles. During rainy season, they bite
the stalks and drill through the leaves of the maguey
to reach their juicy interior. The plague is fought back
by harvesting the caterpillars to eat them by the end
of August.
ESCAMOLES
The eggs of the Liometropum apiculatum ant are edible and highly appreciated in Mexico. Escamoles are
an original pre-Hispanic meal, with a highly nutritious
value and a fine flavor, slightly sweet, so it is recommended to accompany them with something equally soft to highlight their flavor. Their delicacy causes
one to eat them without noticing that the stomach
will be full in short time. They are prepared fried with
butter and epazote, with egg, in salsa, in mixiote, with
barbacoa, in gorditas and in tortillas, among many
other styles.
TROUT
Rainbow trout is a fish that belongs to the family of
Salmonides, of bluish browned green color, dark on
the back, lighter on the abdomen, with black spots
distributed along the body and the fins, and an iridescent stripe along the body that reflects light,
therefore its name. In the wild, it can reach up to 10
kilograms and sizes above 70 centimeters long. This
trout is highly appreciated for its flavor, a common
product in the aquaculture and recreational fishing of
the fresh waters of Mexico.
HIDALGO
ESCAMOLES
CHINICUILES
TYPICAL DISHES AND BEVERAGES
PASTES
Their origin can be traced back to the first quarter of
the 19th century, when a group of Englishmen designated to bring money for the mining industry arrived
to the zone. The Cornish pastry was the inspiration
for this recipe.
MIXIOTES
The pieces of meat, for example mutton, chico, chicken or rabbit, which will be used, are marinated in a
mix of guajillo and pasilla chili peppers, pulque, and
spices. Then, they are all placed on a square of mixiote
leaf and tied with a thread to cook them with steam.
ALBAÑIL STYLE EGGS
This dish is prepared with chinicuil (red colored caterpillar) fried with onions and chili peppers, to then
mix them with eggs. It is served accompanied with
tortillas, and if wished, with crushed salsa.
XIMBO
This dish is prepared with meat rolled in maguey
leaves and baked in an underground oven, where it
is cooked in its own juices or with steam. The word
mainly refers to the traditional method of preparation
of meats, which can be pork, fish, or less frequently,
rabbit or chicken.
SALSA BORRACHA
This salsa is made with pasilla chili pepper, oil and vinegar, seasoned with a touch of pulque, which adds
texture, flavor, and is characteristic name.
BARBACOA
This is mutton or goat meat wrapped in maguey
leaves, cooked in a ground oven. First, the meat is aired and cut, salted and wrapped in the leaves of the
cactaceae. It can be prepared as a single big wrapping or as several smaller ones, which are all placed
together in the pot where they will be cooked. Water
is poured between the wrapping and the pot so the
meat gets moist during the cooking process. In many
places, it is common to add chickpeas, carrots, pulque and green chili peppers in the water to obtain
barbacoa consomé (broth).
MOLE XIQUEÑO
To prepare this dish, several ingredients are fried and
mashed one by one, using a manual mill. It includes
mulato, pasilla and guajillo chili peppers, raisins, boiled almonds, corn totopos, peanuts, roasted hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, cinnamon, plantain,
sesame seeds, prunes, and aniseed. To add the final
touches of flavor, chicken broth is added along with
salt, sugar, and cumin at will.

ACTIVITIES OF THE ROUTE
We find ourselves in the center of the Country, right
in the State of Hidalgo, characteristic for its mosaic of
delicacies full of history.
To start, we should visit the Ex-Convent of San Miguel
Arcángel, an Augustinian fortress-like building dated
back to 1550, located in Ixmiquilpan. In this site, you
will have the experience of tasting barbacoa straight
from the ground oven and eating a taco with salsa
borracha made with pulque. In the Municipality of
Actopan, you will visit the appealing Tolantongo
Grottos, where you will also have the chance to take a
bath in their thermal waters.
A trip to the past awaits you in the tour around the
pulque producing haciendas like San Antonio Tocha,
one of the few that continue creating this beverage.
It has a magnificent ancient tinacal (the deposit where pulque is stored), and carefully preserved lands.
Here, you can taste this delicious beverage, but if you
prefer beer, you can choose to take the tour of the
Hacienda Zempoala Brewery, with a tasting of this
bitter beer, along with a guided walkthrough in the
plant. Arriving downtown, you will find the delicious
Kiko’s Pastes.
On the way to San Miguel Regla, passing through
Pachuca we must visit the Rehilete Cultural center, an
interactive museum with permanent modules focu-
sed on children. We cannot leave aside the El Chico
National Park, located in El Mineral, which offers accommodation services like bathrooms with showers,
kitchen, wide parking lot, and firewood sale. The contents of the Maguey and Pulque Museum is a true
cultural delight, which will amaze you with over 800
products derived from maguey and the objects related to this plant. The Fish Production Center in San
Miguel Regla offers sport fishing of rainbow trout.
If you are feeling adventurous, you can also eat the
past in every bite while tasting the pre-Hispanic gastronomy, as in the region of El Mezquital you will find
a great variety of ancient typical dishes.
Enjoy the touristic and gastronomic charms of the
Route by also visiting the Pueblos Mágicos of Mineral
el Monte and Huasca de Ocampo.

WELCOME TO TAMAULIPAS
FROM THE SEA TO THE LAKE
Geographic Location: In the Northeast region of Mexico
Area: 79,384 km2
Climate: 23 °C (highest) – 10 °C (lowest)
The From the Sea to the Lake Gastronomic Route
gathers the municipalities of Tampico, Villamar
and Laguna Madre, all the way to the capital city of
Tamaulipas, Ciudad Victoria, which has two different
touristic centers located in the outer rims of the city,
purely natural and of national relevance: the Novillo
Canyon and Los Troncones. Besides, the Eastern Sierra
Madre offers other wild sites for resting and recreational purposes.
In the city, you can appreciate architectural and
historic monuments, as well as beautiful squares, the Tamatán Park, and the Lienzo Charro. Viva
Tamaulipas!... the region that sleeps tranquil on the
edge of Laguna Madre.
In its rich, abundant and variated gastronomy, seafood is a legacy and meat a tradition. The cuisine
from Tamaulipas gathers at once in a single dish,
the aromas from the sea and the tropics, combining
acuyo, avocado, parsley and cilantro with shrimp,
which can barely testify the great gastronomy of the
Mexican Northeast. The art of cooking is, without any
doubt, one of the best qualities of the people from
Tamaulipas.
Its Pueblos Mágicos like Mier and Tula will captivate
us with the beauty that decorates their streets, where the folklore and gastronomy of this beautiful State
coexist.

PEANUT
This product has passed from home kitchens to industrial food plants, becoming more frequently included in the development of new products of industrial
and common use, preserving the millennial friendship between man and peanut. Its oily fruits are used
in several preparations, taking a significant position in
the gastronomy and the traditions of Mexico.
TILAPIA
Tilapia, also known as mojarra, is part of a group of
fish of African origin belonging to the Oreochromis
gender, which mainly inhabits in tropical regions,
where the appropriate conditions for its reproduction
and growth are set.
BANANA
Banana is considered one of the most important
crops. Its production occupies the first place in the
conjunct of tropical fruits, and it is fundamental in the
feeding of the Mexican people due to its low price,
availability throughout the entire year, the multiple
culinary combinations it takes, the sensation of satisfaction it produces, and its high nutritional value,
high in potassium, iron, and vitamin K. In cuisine, due
to its delicious flavor, it accompanies several main
courses and desserts.
ONION
It is the underground part in the shape of a yellow,
red, purple bulb of a small plant, with green round
leaves that are hollow on the inside. White onion is
harvested by the last days of spring, and the colored
varieties are gathered by the end of summer. The production in Tamaulipas distributes supplies the entire
Country.
EMPIPIANADAS
Partially fried tortillas, wrapped and stuffed with
cheese and chicken, soaked in red or green pipián,
and accompanied with cecina and beans. They are a
regional typical dish from Tampico.
BOCOLES
They are corn gorditas fried in lard and then opened
to stuff them with meat, cheese, chicharrón, or other
stews. They are commonly eaten for lunch or dinner.

STUFFED FRESHWATER CRABS
Freshwater crabs are crustaceans that live in shallow
waters and sometimes burry themselves in the marine ground. They use their pincers or quelipods to eat
and break snails and other small invertebrates apart,
putting the pieces in their mouth with the other legs.
They are used in several preparations with different
types of ingredients. Their flavor is soft so it matches
nicely with practically any other food it is mixed with.
The classic local recipe consists in stuffing the shell of
the freshwater crab with its own meat, cleaned and
seasoned, and then cooked in the oven.
SHRIMP HUATEPE
This stew is made with different spices and ingredients. It is thickened with corn masa, which gives
it body, and the flavor is brought by seafood whit
which it is accompanied, providing a unique aroma.
CHICHIMBRÉ
This wheat flour bread is made with piloncillo. Its
name is a deformation of the ginger bread, brought
by the English when they arrived to exploit the oil industry in Mexico. Nowadays, it is no longer prepared
with ginger. The loaves are rectangular or with the
shape of a piglet, of dark dough not too fluffy.
TORTAS OF THE WALL
This style of torta was originated in Tampico. It is said
that its creator was Mr. José María Bracamontes, who
used to sell sardine tortas with pico de gallo salsa in
downtown, mainly for the workers on the docks and
sawyers. Further on, his sons Francisco and René kept
on selling the tortas next to the wall that used to demarcate the patios of the railway station, the docks,
and the Customs Office in the dock, the reason why
they got their current name.
PONTEDURO
It is a very traditional and simple sweet, yet very delicious. Popcorn is cooked, and apart from it, syrup is
prepared with piloncillo with the perfect thickness so
it neither cracks nor hardens. This syrup is poured on
the popcorn, which is shaped in balls the size of a fist,
squeezing the popcorn so it sticks together.
TAMAULIPAS
STUFFED FRESHWATER CRABS
HUAPILLA (BEVERAGE)
This is a plant similar to maguey although slightly
smaller. Water is extracted from its fruit, which is
cream colored and has the shape of a ball, and it is mixed with pineapple crust, pepper, and clove, among
other ingredients.
MONDONGO
This dish is prepared with guts like beef or calf stomach, garlic, onions, cooked ham, chorizo, chickpeas,
lard, grilled tomatoes, ancho chili peppers, vinegar
and cumin, all combined to obtain a brothy stew that
can be served as a main course.
TAMPIQUEÑA STYLE MEAT
This dish has a very symbolic meaning. The meat cut
resembles the Panuco River crossing Tamaulipas, accompanied with a garnish of fried black beans that
represent the oil industry of the state, and the flora
and fauna are represented by a garnish of guacamole
and chilaquiles. The grilled white cheese is a symbol
for the purity of the people from Tamaulipas, while
the spicy hot touch honors traditional Mexican food.

this delicious dish at the Fundadores de Loredo Restaurant.
Meanwhile, at the El Rey Mar dock you will have a boat waiting for you to sail across the sea and capture your own fish,
which will later be cooked for you in the kitchen of this delicious restaurant.
You cannot miss the famous tortas of the wall, right besides
the Customs Office of Tampico, we particularly recommend
those of Yoya. Being in downtown Ciudad Madero, you can
visit the Main Square built with an air from the Porfirio Diaz
era, influenced by the French asthetics. It is also a must to stop
by the ancient Customs office, the Municipal Palace and the
Culture House.

fishing in both fresh water and salt water. The first one is done
in one of the numerous dams of the State, like the Vicente
Guerrero, the Emilio Portes Gil, the Ramiro Caballero, the Real
de Borbón, the Pedro J. Méndez, or the República Española
dams. The 420 kilometers of coastline that mark the eastern
border of Tamaulipas offer the chance to practice the fish of
marlin and sábalo.

JALAPEÑO CHILI PEPPERS
Native from Xalapa, this specie is characterized for
preserving intact its spicy properties regardless of the
heat or the freezing of the food it accompanies. It can
be used in abundance as it manages to keep a perfect
balance between its flavor and the rest of the ingredients.
RICE
Rice is a gramineae of large size that grows easier in
tropical weathers. Formerly harvested in dry weather,
rice mutated into a semi-acuatic plant. However, it can
grow in different environments, it does it quicker and
with greater foliage in a warm and humid weather.
The stalks end in a flower, a bunch of 20 to 30 centimeters long, composed of 50 to 300 flowers or spikes
where the grains are grown. Rice is a good source for
magnesium, it contains niacin, vitamin B6, thiamine,
phosphorus, zinc, and copper, as well as traces of pantothenic acid and potassium, but this kind of cereal
contains poor amounts of protein.
VANILLA
Vanilla, an important product in national history, is
the second most expensive condiment of the world,
which has spread its aroma from the millennial lands
of Totonacapan in the State of Veracruz. The knowledge around vanilla is a heritage from the Totonac people, who more than a thousand years ago inhabited
the region of Papantla and its surroundings.
SUGARCANE
It is a tropical gramineae, a large grass related to
sorghum and corn. Its hard stalk reaches between 2
and 5 meters tall. In it, thanks to photosynthesis, a juice rich in sucrose is accumulated, which when extracted and crystalized in a refinery, becomes sugar.
COFFEE
Coffee from Veracruz is a guarantee for the consumer, due to the fact that it has been labeled with
Designation of Origin, a world recognized distinction
that allows the aromatic beverage to satisfy the most
demanding palates.

SEAFOOD HUATEPE
This stew is prepared with several sea ingredients, like
sea bass, freshwater crab, and crystal shrimp. Tomato
is chopped and blended with onions and garlic. The
mix is poured into a container in which water is heated and left to boil. Masa is added so the broth thickens, stirring once in a while, and then adding the
freshwater crab and the shrimp into the broth. The last
ingredients to be incorporated are the fish and a straw
of epazote, which adds the final flavor. It is all spiced
with dry piquing chili pepper and lime juice.
PIPIÁN ENCHILADAS
To prepare this dish, nixtamal (mashed corn cooked in
water with limestone powder) is mixed with salt and
water. Then, very thin tortillas are shaped, placed on a
comal and flipped almost immediately so they cook
on both sides without losing moisture or burning.
Finally, they are soaked in pipián sauce, made with
pumpkin seeds and jalapeño chili peppers. The result
is a colorful delicacy for the palate, which can be
accompanied with cecina seasoned with sour orange
juice, with spicy hot pork meat, or with grilled chicken
breast. It is also served with slightly liquid fried beans.
ZACAHUIL
This is a traditional Huastecan dish, a great tamale for
some people, and for others, the representation of a
dead person for its pod shape and its great size. It can
be found in a wide variety of styles and consistencies
(mushy or dry), ways of preparation, and use of ingredients. It is prepared in a tin pot, with mashed corn,
and covered in banana leaves. It can be stuffed with
pork or chicken meat.
PÚLACLES
This is a type of tamale prepared with beans, tomatoes, mashed pipián and chopped acuyo. All the ingredients are mixed and placed over a layer of banana
leaves previously roasted on a comal. Finally, they are
wrapped and placed in the steamer. This stew follows
a truly ancient recipe, and people consider it to come
from Papantla.
MOLOTES
These antojitos (appetizers) are prepared with a mix
of nixtamal masa and mashed potatoes, which are
stuffed with meat or some kind of stew, and fried in
oil. Finally, they are decorated with lettuce, tomatoes,
sliced onions, and cheese, according to the taste of
the client, and sometimes soaked in a salsa made with
tomatoes and chili peppers.

SEAFOOD HUATEPE
FRESHWATER CRAB CHILPACHOLE

salt, laurel, thyme, oregano, and onions. It is served

GAYA
On the way to Veracruz, before reaching the coastline highway with its extraordinary view to the Gulf of
Mexico, you will find endless activities to experience,
like the guided visit to the Gaya factory where vanilla is processed. There, you will be able to know the
great variety of products obtained from this resource,
as well as admiring the orchid that produces the aromatic pod. Once on the way to Gutiérrez Zamora, we
should mention that the ancient Hospicio Zamora, a
neoclassic building whose first stone was laid in 1852,
became the Museum of the City in 1970 and, with the
support of the Culture Institute of Veracruz, gathers
the history and evolution of the State. We will spend
a day in the beaches of Tecolutla, which are not polluted at all and receive the visit of the sea turtles that
lay their eggs on it.
Without leaving the search for delicious aromas, you
can visit Coatepec, a Pueblo Mágico with extraordinary coffee fields where the grain is cultivated and
processed. The tour will take you all the way to the
trees where this fruit is obtained. While walking the
fresh crops, you can admire the slow process of ripening. Besides, you will have the satisfaction of
participating in the production of cheeses, and as if
it weren’t enough, you may participate in a wine tasting to try the dairy products just obtained.
In Veracruz, La Parroquia café is a must for every visitor, so you cannot leave the Gulf without drinking a
“lechero” in it. Downtown, you will taste the ice cream
of Güero Güero, who for over 30 years has handcrafted this delicious recipe. In Boca del Río, we should
visit the canyon vessel of impressive size, with over 80
meters long and 12 wide, and you’ll be able to walk
around the deck all the way to the firearms room, guided by retired Mexican Navy officers. Not so far away
from there, we will find the Baluarte de Santiago, a
military defensive building from 1635, which hosts a
museum with several documents and objects from
the Viceregal Era, as well as pre-Hispanic jewelry. You
should enjoy the Aquarium of Veracruz, one of the
most attractive in Latin America, where you will find
a great diversity of fish and amphibians. San Juan de
Ulúa, a fortress, dock, prison, and municipal palace in
different times, is another site to be seen. Other symbolic cultural attraction is the archeological zone of El
Tajín. On the other hand, Veracruz invites you to participate in adventurous activities, characteristic from
Veracruz.
