It’s time to treat your taste buds. At the end of June, the 2026 Caldo Tlalpeño Festival will arrive in Mexico City. It’s a culinary event that will pay tribute to this iconic dish.
Caldo tlalpeño is a long-standing tradition in Mexico City. In fact, it is said to have been created right here in Tlalpan. According to information from the Tlalpan municipal government, the soup was created because President Antonio López de Santa Anna asked for something to relieve the discomfort caused by drinking the night before.
The soup is distinguished by its ingredients: chipotle, vegetables, and chicken. Come try the best recipes at this culinary festival.
