[Lifestyle] dish Monterrey

[Mr.Jhorjan]

 

By Susannah Rigg
In Mexico, each state has its own cuisine, and Nuevo León—whose capital is Monterrey—is no exception. Northern Mexico is known for its diet rich in meat (sorry, vegetarian friends), pinto beans, and flour tortillas, and Monterrey's food scene is certainly in harmony with this.

 

 

Kid
Probably the most typical dish in Monterrey, cabrito will undoubtedly be first on everyone's list when asked what local food to try. Its name gives away what you will see on your plate. The goat is served in different ways: roasted, baked or in sauce.

 

Of these three, cabrito al pastor is by far the most famous option, which can be seen throughout Monterrey. The goat is cut open in the middle, spread out and impaled on a stake, then slowly roasted for hours and even days above burning embers. The tender and flavorful meat is best enjoyed with flour tortillas and beans, to bring out all the flavor of Monterrey.

 

Crush
Considered a dish created out of necessity, machaca has become one of the favorite dishes in Monterrey. In the arid region of northern Mexico, when there were no refrigerators, people preserved meat by letting it dry in the sun and wind.

 

However, the sun-cured meat had an unusual flavor. So, in the 1930s, an innovative woman—La Tía Lencha—mixed it with eggs and a little piquín chili to create a dish so tasty, it is now a favorite not only in Monterrey but even beyond. If you want to have a typical Monterrey breakfast when you're in town, order machaca.

Roast meat
Cabrito may be one of the most emblematic meats in Monterrey, but grilled meats of all kinds are a great thing. If you follow the Keto diet you will be in heaven thanks to the amount of meat available on each menu in the capital of Nuevo León.

 

A short walk around town over the weekend will probably lead to an encounter with a family grilling meat outdoors. If you don't get an invitation to one of these family gatherings, there are restaurants throughout the city that serve the best cuts of meat in the region.
