Mexican food might seem easy to imitate. But a taco with soul? Now that''s a different story. Many have wrestled with this ancient cuisine and its punch-in-the-face flavours. Most have failed. Thankfully, Comida Mexicana is the real deal. Rosa Cienfuegos travels the length and breadth of her homeland to bring you Mexico''s most beloved snacks, tacos, tortas and tamales. From the vibrant streets of Mexico City, to tucked-away villages and tranquil coastal towns, each region and every family has their favourite dish and a story to tell. Discover them here. Ditch the imposters, eat like a true Mexican.

'From mayo-slathered ears of corn to bulbous torta sandwiches, many of Australia-based Cienfuegos's recipes evoke the late-night roadside fare beloved after an evening of drinking. Lard-rich tamales are a pandemic-ready project, well worth the time it takes to swaddle dough into corn husk wrappers.'
