Immerse yourself in the culinary traditions of Ajijic with the iconic Tachihual Bread. Lovingly crafted by the Martínez Velázquez family, this ancestral recipe has been passed down through generations since the town’s founding. Baked in an antique wood-fired oven, this slightly sweet bread offers a unique experience that delights the senses.
Versatility for Every Palate
Enjoy Tachihual Bread on its own to savor its pure essence, or pair it with your favorite coffee for a comforting breakfast. For a gourmet touch, fill it with cheese and cream, creating an irresistible combination of flavors and textures. Don’t forget to try the Cema, a whole wheat variation that retains the magic of Tachihual.
Fresh from the Oven to Your Table
Tachihual Bread is baked daily and goes on sale starting at 5 pm. Find it in the streets, carried in a traditional tub, or visit the bakery at Emiliano Zapata #15 for an authentic experience. There’s nothing like the aroma and taste of freshly baked bread!
Celebrations with a Sweet Touch
On special days like the Day of the Cross (May 3rd) and the Day of San Sebastian (January 20th), Tachihual is dressed up with a frosting that enhances its natural sweetness. This festive version is so coveted that it usually sells out quickly.
Discover the Taste of Tradition
Tachihual Bread is more than just food, it’s a link to the history and heart of Ajijic. Each bite transports you to a world of authentic flavors and invites you to be part of a centuries-old tradition.
