A stranger wandering through a Mexican market stops at a street vendor. “What flavours do you have”, she asks. The vendor sweeps his arms across the entire market, with stalls of freshly caught sea bass, vibrant limes, coriander and avocados, 100 types of chillies and sizzling meats. “All the flavours of Mexico,” he replies.

In Mexico, there are as many ways of eating as there are flavours. Have a healthy salad lunch, light snack or antojitos (little treats) with drinks. Share small dishes with friends, or have a hearty taco all to yourself.
