A Few Words about Indigenous and Mostly Indigenous Foods
The foods in this guide are more than 500 years old ... and served fresh daily if you know where to look!

Many indigenous dishes incorporate introduced foods, including cheese and meats such as beef, chicken and pork. Other changes include the process of distillation which took the native agave and made this into mezcal and [|tequila].
