Gorditas tarascas, Mexican restaurant in Centro, Texcoco de Mora, Mexico.
Gorditas Tarascas is a restaurant in Centro that serves thick corn tortillas filled with your choice of ingredients alongside homemade Mexican sauces and sides. The kitchen prepares each item fresh, offering different options throughout the day.
The kitchen opened in July 2010 and has kept the same traditional cooking methods and recipes since then. Over time it became a neighborhood staple for people living and working in the area.
The dining room features bullfighting-themed decorations that show how deeply rooted this tradition is in Mexican food culture locally. Visitors notice these details as they eat and experience the restaurant's connection to regional customs.
The place is located between Vicente Guerrero and Constitucion streets in the downtown area. You can come during the week or on Saturday, but it closes on Sundays and stays shut on some holidays.
A small team of local cooks makes each gordita by hand using techniques specific to the Michoacan region. This handmade approach and regional craft tradition set this place apart from mass-produced versions elsewhere.
