Taqueria CHUPACABRA Mexican food now open at SM City Baguio
Taqueria CHUPACABRA formally opened with Angelica and Nestle Sapitola leading the ribbon cutting on October 25, 2022, held at Sky Terraces, SM City Baguio.
Mexican food is popular because it’s full of flavor. The Mexican dishes include healthy and fresh ingredients like avocados, beans, chiles, tomatoes, and other vegetables, and different types of meat like beef, chicken, pork, fish, and lamb, among others used in tacos, tamales, or soups.
There’s a common perception that Mexican food is both spicy and heavy but, in fact, true Mexican food has both a depth of flavor – with its combination of savory and earthy flavors – and a fresh lightness from its generous use of fresh herbs, vegetables, and citrus.
Tacos. It’s the most popular Mexican dish globally. Usually served with fillings like steak and chorizo.
But, here in the newly opened Mexican Restaurant, Taqueria CHUPACABRA will serve you a Mexican Street Taco that comes in a freshly made soft corn tortilla (made from corn masa, not from regular white flour), and can be ordered with a choice of fillings. It is then topped very simply with chopped onions and fresh cilantro. No lettuce, no cheese, no gringo-style ground beef. It is served open-faced on a little and fresh lime is squeezed on by the diner, then picked up and folded slightly, and into the mouth, it goes in three or four bites. A simple, supremely satisfying taste explosion. Commonly in Mexico, people will eat, three, four, five, or more tacos at a time.
