Chalupas are typical street food which consist of a fried tortilla garnished with pulled meat, onions and covered with green or red sauce and sprinkled with white cheese.

Tamales are made from masa and can be filled with a variety of ingredients, they are typically wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves and steamed or boiled. One of the world's first portable foods.

Mixiote is an Aztec term that refers to the parchment-like film that comes from the maguey leaves and the dish is prepared by wrapping the meat in it and then pit roasting or steaming. The leaves are no longer available because their use has been outlawed because of over use. Baking parchment is used now. The key to this dish is the marinade which is typically aromatic chiles, thyme, marjoram, bay leaves, oranges, garlic and other ingredients, it depends on the cook. The meat is incredibly tender.

Chile en Nogada is a tribute to the fruits of Puebla. This rich, savory-sweet entrée features a Poblano chile pepper stuffed with picadillo. Ground or chopped pork, beef, or lamb cooked with locally grown apples, pears, and peaches. The chile is then dipped in an egg batter, deep-fried, and finished with a walnut cream sauce, parsley leaves, and pomegranate seeds. The white, green, and red toppings represent the colors of the Mexican flag.

Mole sauces typically have a myriad of ingredients and are made by toasting and grinding spices, seeds, and chiles, then simmered for many hours.

Cocada Envinada is a super dense coconut cake. It is almost like candy.

Rompope is an eggnog-like drink made with eggs, milk, and vanilla. The egg yolks impart a yellow hue to the emulsified beverage.

The best way to describe jericalla is that it is flan with lots of milk, eggs and sugar. It is similar to creme brulee with a slightly curdled texture.
