A fusion of pre-Hispanic food and Mexican gastronomy

Pre-Hispanic food is a tradition dating back to before the conquest. It consists of the use of ingredients from the Central-American region such as chapulines (grasshoppers), gusanos de maguey (agave worms), chinicuiles (red maguey worms), nopales (prickly pears), corn and beans.

A kitchen with a heart

They say that the secret ingredient of each dish is love. In the case of Doña Vero, its passion for cooking means that, since 2005, it has cheered the palate and warmed the heart of its customers with each unique and original guisado (stew).

Pre-Hispanic cooking is one of the most complex that not just anybody can make. From guacamole with chapulines (grasshoppers) to turkey in salsa de gusanos de maguey (agave worm salsa), all dishes have a process. They are recipes that any food lover should try at least once in their life.
