If you’re the kind of foodie who succumbs to a warm bowl of consomé and two servings of beef brisket every weekend, this is sure to be a top priority on your June calendar. It’s theBarbacoa and Corn Expo, taking place in the Tlalpan district.
During the weekend of June 13 and 14, La Joya baseball field will be the gastronomic epicenter of this festival, which will bring together barbecue vendors and families from the area’s indigenous communities.
You can look forward to a true culinary feast where you’ll discover the flavors and traditions surrounding barbacoa and, of course, corn-based snacks.
Many of the participants will present recipes, techniques, and secrets that have been passed down from generation to generation; some of the preparations even use corn husks and earthen ovens during the process.
The feast won’t just be accompanied by cilantro and onions, as the Barbacoa and Corn Expo will offer a program that includes music, artisanal crafts for sale, and other cultural activities.
If you’re looking for local events this weekend, this is a great option where you’ll not only enjoy delicious food but also discover the flavors of southern Mexico City.
Please note that the festival will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Av. Insurgentes Sur 3891, La Joya, Tlalpan.
