Welcome Drink
Mexican Mezcal Joven
Enchiladas Dulces (Colima style mole)
A semi sweet style of enchiladas in a red mole sauce, picadillo (ground beef), and escabeche.
Ceviche de Pescado with Tostadas
Located in the central-western region of Mexico, the state of Colima boasts a unique approach to preparing fish ceviche, setting it apart from versions found in other states. The key distinction lies in the cutting technique used for the fish.
In Colima, it is customary to finely chop the fish, creating a texture akin to ground meat, whereas other variations feature small cubes of fish. The texture of Colima’s fish ceviche stands out as well. Unlike most recipes that aim for a juicy dish, Colima’s version tends to have a drier consistency, making it an ideal complement to crispy tortillas.
Colima Regional Drink
Agua de Limon y Chia
Coliman lime infused drink with chia seeds
Colima Regional Desert
Flan de Coco
Coconut Mexican style sweet custard.
