Dining in Acapulco

Aficionados of fine culinary experiences won’t be disappointed by what Acapulco has to offer. The town has dishes to serve any taste, as the cooking tends to reflect Mexican cuisine as a whole. Seafood in the Guerrero style is especially considered a delicacy, and most of the finest chefs in the city offer it as one of their signature dishes. From tangy rice dishes to flour tortillas to canapes, this part of Mexico has it all. A broad culinary history, local flavors, dining excursions and a rich variety of mouth-watering textures are reflective of this resort town.

Much of Acapulco’s culinary history can be traced to a common colonial connection with the Philippines, and there is distinct Filipino – Spanish influence on Acapulco’s dishes. Being a coastal enclave, the city depends greatly on the fishing industry, and this is reflective in the array of sumptuous seafood dishes on offer. However, as with the other regions of Mexico, flour and corn-based tortillas remain the basis of most dishes, being reflective of the overall culture of the country. This fusion of fish and flour is part of what makes Acapulco’s cuisine distinct and unique.

Ceviche is especially popular in Acapulco. This delicious appetizer is crafted either from fish, usually red snapper, or shellfish such as scallops and shrimp. What makes this dish so exquisite is the marinade; Acapulco has become famous for its ceviche marinade which usually includes peppers, tomatoes, lime, as well as herbs like oregano and cilantro. When poured over the fish the marinade provides an explosion of flavor and when combined with the pleasant texture of the fish it makes for an incredible taste experience.
More traditional foods such as tamales and enchiladas form a staple of the cuisine; however, the chefs of Acapulco infuse their own taste personality into them. This variety tends to again reflect in the home-made salsas, which each showcasing regional differences and are as mouth-wateringly unique as they are flavorful. Pozole is a local specialty, made from beef broth, hominy, pork, and chicken. And for a pure delicacy, foods served with mole poblano – a sauce featuring no less than 30 ingredients will make any dish sing.
