The Role of Food in Mexican Independence Day Celebrations

Nothing screams Independence Day more than its food. Every September 16th, Mexican Independence Day reminds us of the beginning of the nation's fight for freedom. And whether you are a big fan of Mexican food or just experiencing its flavors, this is a season true foodies have to experience at least once!

Food, the Heart of Mexico's Independence 

Food means much more to us Mexicans; it symbolizes our identity, family, and past. That is why pozole, mole poblano, tostadas, sopes, and chiles en nogada take the spotlight during this season. These dishes blend various cultures and influences and have been passed down through generations.
