The Story Behind Our Dishes: A Tour of the Origins

At Sol Azteca, every dish we serve tells a rich and vibrant story, a story that dates back to the culinary traditions of Mexico and Latin America. Today, we invite you to explore the origins of some of our most popular dishes and how they have evolved over time. Tacos: A Classic That Transcends Borders Tacos are perhaps the most iconic dish in Mexican cuisine. Their history dates back to the 18th century, when corn tortillas began to be used as a base to wrap various types of meat. Originally, tacos were a food for mine workers, who needed a portable lunch. Over time, this simple dish was transformed into a gourmet delight, with varied ingredients ranging from grilled meat to fresh seafood. At Sol Azteca, we have put a contemporary twist on this classic. Our tacos are not only delicious, but they also reflect the diversity of flavors that can be found in Mexico. From our tacos al pastor, which combine marinated pork with pineapple, to our vegetarian tacos, every bite is a journey through Mexican history and culture. Fajitas: The Taste of the Southwest Fajitas, while now a mainstay in Tex-Mex cuisine, have their roots in the cowboy tradition of Texas. It is said that cowboys in the region would grill beef and serve it with corn tortillas. As the recipe became more popular, a variety of vegetables and sauces began to be added, giving rise to the version we know today. At Sol Azteca, our fajitas are a celebration of this heritage. We invite you to enjoy our chicken, beef and shrimp fajitas, served with fresh peppers and onions, accompanied by warm tortillas. Each dish is designed to be shared, reflecting the spirit of community and conviviality that characterizes Latin culture. Enchiladas: A Dish with History Enchiladas are a dish that has evolved over the centuries. Originating in pre-Hispanic times, tortillas were eaten with different types of sauces. With the arrival of the Spanish and the introduction of new ingredients, such as cheese and meat, enchiladas were transformed into a more complex and flavorful dish. On our menu, we offer a variety of enchiladas that pay homage to this tradition. From the classic red enchiladas to the green ones, each one is made with fresh ingredients and homemade sauces that evoke the authentic flavors of Mexico. Burritos: The Fusion of Cultures Burritos are a relatively modern phenomenon, which became popular on the border between Mexico and the United States. It is believed that their name comes from the word "donkey," since street vendors carried the food in packages that resembled the saddlebags of these animals. Over time, burritos have been adapted to include a variety of ingredients, from beans and rice to meats and vegetables. At Sol Azteca, our burritos are a testament to this cultural fusion. With options ranging from the classic carne asada burrito to the vegetarian burrito, we offer an experience that combines tradition with innovation. Each dish at Sol Azteca is not only a delight to the palate, but also a window into the rich history of Mexican and Latin cuisine. We take pride in serving these dishes and sharing their stories with our diners. Whether you choose to enjoy a meal in our restaurant or order online, we invite you to join us on this culinary journey that celebrates the diversity and heritage of our cuisine. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and having an unforgettable dining experience at Sol Azteca!

Wine Pairing with Mexican Food

Mexican cuisine is a true feast for the senses, rich in flavors, colors, and textures. At Sol Azteca, we are proud to offer a variety of dishes that capture the essence of Mexican and Latin haute cuisine. But did you know that wine pairing can elevate your dining experience even further? In this article, we share some tips on how to pair wines with Mexican dishes to create unforgettable moments. Understanding the Flavors Before choosing a wine, it is important to understand the flavors that predominate in Mexican food. Dishes are usually spicy, acidic, and often have a smoky touch. When selecting a wine, look for those that complement and enhance these characteristics. White Wines for Light Dishes White wines are an excellent choice to accompany lighter dishes. For example: Salads and Fish Tacos: A fresh, crisp Sauvignon Blanc is ideal. Its acidity complements the freshness of the fish and vegetables, creating a perfect balance. Green Enchiladas: Opt for a Pinot Grigio. This wine has fruity notes that enhance the green sauce and the flavors of the chicken or cheese. Rosé Wines: Versatility on the Plate Rose wine is a versatile option that can accompany a variety of Mexican dishes: Fajitas: A dry rosé can be the perfect companion for fajitas. Its freshness and fruity notes balance the smoky flavor of the meat and spices. Carnitas Tacos: A rosé with a touch of sweetness can highlight the juiciness of the pork and the acidity of the sauce. Red Wines for Hearty Dishes Red wines are ideal for heartier, more flavorful dishes. Some suggestions are: Tacos al Pastor: A Tempranillo, with its notes of red fruit and spices, perfectly complements the marinade of the meat and pineapple. Mole Poblano: A Cabernet Sauvignon is a fantastic choice. The richness of the mole is enhanced by the complexity and structure of the wine, creating a rich and satisfying experience. Seafood and Sparkling Wines If you are a seafood lover, don't forget to consider sparkling wines: Ceviche: A sparkling wine such as a Prosecco or Cava is ideal. The bubbles help cleanse the palate and highlight the freshness of the ceviche. Grilled Fish: A dry sparkling wine can also accompany grilled fish well, enhancing its flavor and adding a festive touch. Mexican Desserts and Sweet Wines We can't forget the end of the meal: desserts: Churros: A sweet wine like a Moscato or an ice wine complements the sweetness of the churros and chocolate, creating a perfect ending to your meal. Flan: A dessert wine like a Pedro Ximénez can be the ideal companion, with its richness and caramel notes that harmonize with the smoothness of the flan. Final Considerations Remember that wine pairing is a personal experience. The most important thing is to enjoy the food and wine you choose. Don't hesitate to experiment and find the combinations you like best! At “Sol Azteca”, we are here to offer you not only the best Mexican haute cuisine dishes, but also a complete gastronomic experience.

History of the Celebration of Christmas in Mexico

Christmas is one of the most anticipated and celebrated holidays in Mexico, a country rich in traditions and culture. Since the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, the celebration of Christmas has evolved, fusing indigenous elements with European influences. In this article, we will explore the history and traditions that make Christmas in Mexico a unique and special experience. The Colonial Influence The celebration of Christmas in Mexico dates back to colonial times, when the Spanish introduced Christianization and the festivities associated with the Nativity. The Midnight Mass, celebrated on the night of December 24, is one of the most important traditions. In this mass, the faithful gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus, and it is common for the community to come together in an atmosphere of joy and reflection. Las Posadas: A Journey of Faith One of the most emblematic traditions of Christmas in Mexico is the Posadas, which are celebrated from December 16 to 24. This event recreates the journey of Mary and Joseph in search of lodging before the birth of Jesus. For nine nights, families and friends gather to go from house to house, singing Christmas carols and asking for lodging. Upon reaching the last house, it is celebrated with a party that includes food, piñatas and, of course, the joy of the community. Gastronomic Traditions Gastronomy plays a fundamental role in the celebration of Christmas in Mexico. In many families, Christmas Eve dinner includes traditional dishes such as cod a la vizcaína, turkey, romeritos and, for dessert, the famous Christmas ponche, a hot drink made from fruits and spices. Each dish has its own history and meaning, reflecting the cultural diversity of the country. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Christmas Eve is a time for family gatherings, where dinner is shared and midnight is awaited to celebrate Midnight Mass. On Christmas Day, many families continue with the celebrations, sharing gifts and enjoying the company of their loved ones. In some regions, it is customary for children to go from house to house singing Christmas carols and receiving candy and fruit in return. Epiphany and Three Kings' Day The Christmas celebration does not end on December 25. In Mexico, Epiphany, celebrated on January 6, is another significant time. On this day, the arrival of the Three Wise Men is commemorated and it is traditional to enjoy Rosca de Reyes, a sweet bread containing figurines inside. Whoever finds the figurine must organize the celebration of Candlemas Day on February 2, which extends the festive season. Christmas in Mexico is a celebration full of meaning, tradition and community. From Posadas to Misa de Gallo, each custom reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. By celebrating Christmas, Mexicans not only honor the birth of Jesus, but also strengthen family and community ties, creating memories that last over time. At Sol Azteca, we invite you to enjoy the warmth of Christmas and experience the delicious Mexican cuisine that accompanies these festivities. Whether you come to dine with us or decide to order online, we are here to make your celebration unforgettable. Happy Holidays!
