sabores de mexico: CAMPECHE
available in AUGUST
On the western side of the Yucatan Peninsula lies the state of Campeche, and within that state lies the capital city—also known as Campeche. Back then, there was a very famous street vendor known for serving the most delectable Tacos de Castacán (Crispy Pork Belly Tacos).
The recipe has existed since colonial times, with each local cook preserving it as it was passed down through generations. Our taqueria stays true to this ancient recipe. Pork belly is confited in lard to let it become tender and flavorful before crisping it up on the plancha. Queso Oaxaca is melted over the crispy pork belly, then topped with avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Salsa verde and habanero salsa balance out the richness, whilst giving it a kick of spice, enhancing the bold flavors.
Complete the trip to Campeche with a Mayan Sunrise. Inspired by the rich history and culture of the Mayan civilization, let this flip on the classic tequila sunrise transport you to a world of wonder as you visualize watching the sun rise or set over the Mayan temples.
