While visiting Hermosillo it is important to get involved with its exquisite gastronomic heritage. The state produces large amounts of livestock, thus you will find the most mouthwatering, finest cuts of meat of a truly exceptional quality. Alongside cattle farming, Sonora's agriculture is also dedicated to the farming of grains, nuts, quinces and citrus fruits.
Hermosillo's cuisine integrates traditional Mexican fare with a few local dishes. The recipes that have been proudly preserved throughout the years are truly exceptional. Some of the most representative and delicious regional foods are tamales de elote (corn tamales), gallina pinta (a stew made with meat, corn, and beans), caldo de queso (cheese stew), and burritos percherones (giant burritos). Due to the proximity of the Sea of Cortez (less than an hour drive), you can also enjoy fresh, appetizing seafood. During your next visit to the city of Hermosillo, do not miss the opportunity to try out the best beef tacos and steak in the country.
Due to extreme fluctuations in climate and the need to preserve food for long periods of time, Sonora developed the process of dehydrating foods. These were incorporated into its cuisine and nowadays are an important part of its tradition, such as the tasty "Machaca", a salted meat that is dried under the baking sun and used as seasoning, eaten as a tasty snack or even as a main dish. Do not forget to try this delicious ingredient!
"Bacanora" is the drink that represents the state of Sonora. It is a type of mescal produced from the distillation of juice from the maguey plants' broiled heart and usually drank as aperitif or digestive. The best way to round off a delicious meal is to savor some typical cookies from the Coyotas region; the round "coyotas" cookies are made of wheat flour and stuffed with piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar syrup), cajeta (caramel filling), ice cream, and many other sweet ingredients.
