Tepic, Mexican restaurant in Salamanca district, Madrid, Spain
Tepic is a Mexican restaurant in the Salamanca district featuring traditional cuisine from southern Mexico with regional ingredients and preparation methods. The space divides into a casual bar area with high tables and a main dining room that holds around 70 people.
The establishment was founded in 2008 in the Chueca neighborhood before relocating to its current Salamanca location. This move allowed the restaurant to expand its space and reach a broader audience in the city.
The menu draws from southern Mexican regions, using ingredients like huitlacoche, epazote, and various chili peppers that reflect how people cook in those areas. Diners can taste the difference between regional styles and everyday Mexican food they might know elsewhere.
The two distinct areas allow for different dining styles, with the bar ideal for quick visits and the main room better for longer meals. Both spaces are accessible and comfortable for various group sizes and dining preferences.
The restaurant holds recognition in the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand list, marking it as exceptional in combining quality with reasonable prices. This honor is rare among establishments focusing on authentic regional Mexican cooking.
