Enjoy the Flavors of Guerrero!

Mexico is known worldwide for its traditional foods. In 2010, UNESCO recognized Mexican cuisine by adding it to the Intangible Heritage List. The cuisine, just like in many other parts of the world, is very “regional” – varying according to the different states and geographic locations.

Similar to how the food in the southern USA is different than that on the east coast, the foods and flavors of the State of Guerrero are unique in Mexico, and in the world!

Traditional Mexican cuisine is a comprehensive cultural model comprising farming, ritual practices, age-old skills, culinary techniques, and ancestral community customs and manners.

It is made possible by collective participation in the entire traditional food chain: from planting and harvesting to cooking and eating. The basis of the cuisine is corn, beans, and chili, augmented by native ingredients such as varieties of tomatoes, squashes, avocados, cocoa, and vanilla. In the state of Guerrero, there’s fresh fish, plates of seafood, and mezcal!

Guerrero is a state that is characterized by its rich history, tradition, and gastronomy, and acknowledged that the mezcal industry is unparalleled in the world. Color, music, dance, and crafts – all part of the typical Guerrero flavors.
