The Flavors of the Neighborhood are the essence of our culture, an opportunity to share what we are through food. In this first edition, the Huasteca is present from Huejutla, Hidalgo, with the enchiladas of the Hernández family that are a sensation in Tampico.
The success of this establishment run by the Hernández family can be measured in lines, and the expectation that their enchiladas have generated causes dozens of diners to wait in long lines, where no matter how relentless the sun is, no one leaves without trying their seasoning.
Made on firewood and a clay griddle, these are these enchiladas
It is worth recognizing the great effort that the Hernández family makes to bring their enchiladas from Huejutla, Hidalgo, from where they have to leave from Tuesday to Sunday at 1:00 a.m. to be able to arrive in Tampico as soon as dawn breaks and serve their diners at the intersection of Cañada Avenue with Las Torres, in Tampico.
In the words of Higinio Hernández, one of the managers of the place, the keys to its flavor are the place and the materials with which the enchiladas are made, since in his experience preparing them here does not give the same result.
“There was a need for something like this here, original from Huejutla, we bring them from there. They are made over a wood fire and on a clay griddle, which is what gives it the flavor,” said Higinio, who does not stop moving around the place to be able to serve the large number of people who receive it.
Whether you order some tomato, sesame, green or dried chili enchiladas; stuffed with beans or green egg, with a boiled egg on the side and a molcajete sauce; it is certain that this dish will make your Huasteco heart smile.
They offer Hidalgo cheese and cream
So that people can continue enjoying the flavors of Hidalgo in their homes, the Hernández family also brings from their home asadero, ground cheese and cream for those who wish to continue the flavor experience in their dishes.
If you are craving and want to try the popular enchiladas of the Hernández family, they are available from Tuesday to Sunday, from 8:00 a.m. until “until they run out,” as Don Higinio stated.
The interviewee invited the population to go this Sunday, September 22, as they will be offering Hidalgo cecina, as well as complimentary nopales for you to enjoy along with your Huejutla enchiladas and continue promoting the Huasteca culture through these Neighborhood Flavors.
