Sampling tasty Mexican food is an important and enjoyable part of any Mexico vacation. And if you’re planning to travel to Mexico in August or September, there’s a very special season dish that you should try: chiles en nogada.
Many Mexican dishes have interesting stories behind them, and this colorful and delicious culinary creation has both a culinary and patriotic history. (Scroll down to see our tasty culinary travel video if you’re viewing this on the site, or click here to watch it on YouTube.)

Ubish Yaren of Mexico Underground is a true Mexican food expert. He keeps his guests well fed on his Mexico City tours!
In my latest Mexico travel video, I’m joined by my friend and Mexican food expert Ubish Yaren, who shares the secrets of chiles en nogada, a mouthwatering Mexican dish that is a traditional favorite for celebrating Mexican independence day in September (and they start serving it in restaurants several weeks before the actual date, so even if you’re not in Mexico on the actual date, you can still savor the flavors).
You won’t want to miss Ubish’s fascinating explanation in this video of the ingredients and the meaning of the colors of this delectable cuisine. Ubish knows what he’s talking about — he’s a chef, food expert and owner of Mexico Underground, a company that offers curated foodie tours and other cool and unique Mexico City tours. I highly recommend him to anyone who’s looking for unique and curated experiences in Mexico City.
