And that's good news, because there are many Mexican restaurants in Paris just waiting for you!
Among the most popular dishes are tacos, corn tortillas filled with meat, vegetables, and salsa; burritos, tortillas filled with rice, beans, and meat, served with guacamole and sour cream; enchiladas, corn tortillas stuffed with meat and cheese and covered with chili sauce; and tamales, corn cakes stuffed with meat and wrapped in corn husks.
But Mexican cuisine is also known for its stews, such as pozole, a kind of hearty stew, as well as its fish dishes, such as the famous ceviche, a refreshing delicacy. Enjoy it with a small glass of mezcal or tequila, within reason of course!
