It’s official! In September the first Caldo Tlalpeño Festival will arrive in CDMX. You will enjoy this delicious dish from Tlalpan. Write down the date and all the details!
Caldo Tlalpeño is a tradition in Mexico City. Its specific origin is still a mystery; however, it is believed that its creation dates back to the 19th century. According to the website of the Tlalpan Mayor’s Office, it is said that after a night of celebration, President Antonio López de Santa Anna asked for something to get rid of the discomfort of drinking.
In response he was brought a broth with chicken, vegetables and chipotle, which was called caldo tlalpeño. This dish has been maintained over the years and will now have its own festival.
When will the Caldo Tlalpeño Festival be held in CDMX?
This gastronomic festival will last throughout the month of September and will be held in markets and restaurants located in the Tlalpan district. It is worth mentioning that on Saturday 6th there will be a contest and exhibition of this dish.
