For the love of chilies
One of the most amazing culinary contributions of Mexico, aside from tacos, is it’s vast array of salsas. Go to any stand serving empanadas, tacos, or various other savoury options, and you’re almost guaranteed to find a source of pride, their own particular homemade, chili salsa. While in many parts of the world, people areContinue reading “For the love of chilies”
Sereno
Above the hotel Albatros Suites by Bedsfriends, sits the rooftop, open-air restaurant Sereno – Roof Bar & Restaurant. New, at just 6 months old, we were intrigued by their photos of beautifully presented food and we at Deliciosa decided it was time to wander over – and up – to take a closer look.

The Humble but Mighty, Taco
“Don’t judge your taco by its price.” – Hunter S. Thompson What is your idea of a taco? Is it made with a small, hand-sized tortilla, or are you all about a hearty, two-hander version.

A Taste of the Season
It’s finally December – the last month in a year to forget – and Christmas is nearly upon us. It could be just another disappointment in a string of quarantine holidays that came and went without celebration but is anyone really going to let it slide by without some sort of fanfare? It is whatContinue reading “A Taste of the Season”
Food for the Soul
November is under way and another Día de Muertos has quietly passed by. With 2020 taking it’s toll on another tradition and celebration, by having all public events and gatherings cancelled, although people would have set up ofrendas (altars) in their private homes for this important Mexican holiday, so it’s not that the meaning orContinue reading “Food for the Soul”
SALSA!
Perhaps the king of Mexico’s condiments, salsa can elevate even the most simple dish to sublime levels. While many visitors to Mexico may think of something simple and cooked, with tomato and onion, like Pace or Herdez produced brands when speaking of salsa, or perhaps the fresh pico de gallo you’ll almost always find inContinue reading “SALSA!”
