The culinary journey of discovery through the streets of Mexico leads to one of the most popular street food dishes: shrimp tacos.
Tacos – these small, filled corn tortillas are much more than just a quick and tasty dish.
They are a symbol of Mexican culture, an expression of joy of life and pure enjoyment.
While tacos are traditionally associated with ground meat, shrimp tacos have gained popularity worldwide in recent years - and for good reason!
The combination of tender shrimp, fresh vegetables and aromatic spices is simply unbeatable.
But creative variations, such as cheeseburger tacos or Big Mac tacos, are also very popular.

Mexican cuisine is a veritable explosion of flavor and creativity that goes far beyond tacos and burritos.
It is a mix of indigenous traditions and European influence, reflected in an endless variety of dishes.
The undisputed highlights include chicken fajitas with juicy grilled chicken and crispy vegetables in soft tortillas, as well as a nacho-topped enchilada lasagna layered with alternating tortillas, spicy minced meat sauce and cheese.
Equally popular are fried guacamole balls, in which the traditional avocado cream is breaded with tortilla chips and fried until crispy and golden brown, as well as quesadillas, tortillas filled with cheese that are fried or grilled until crispy.
This cuisine thrives on the attention to detail, from the vibrant variety of colors to the unmistakable spiciness of the spices, from the fresh ingredients to the handcrafted sauces and artistic decorations - a true expression of the passion and skill of the Mexican chefs.
