Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience Mexico outside the all-inclusive resorts, away from sprawling Mexico City? Francine Prose did.\u00a0She checked\u00a0out Puebla<\/a>, a two-and-a-half-hour drive\u00a0southeast of\u00a0Mexico\u00b4s capital.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1531 by the Spanish,\u00a0the city has a rich history deeply rooted in religion. Some even believe that the location of the city was suggested by angels, hence the name, Puebla de los Angeles (City of Angels).\u00a0The religious foundations\u00a0carry through to\u00a0present-day. The surrounding areas of the z\u00f3calo, the city-center, is where churches and convents have remained\u00a0intact for centuries.\u00a0 It helps that\u00a0Unesco designated Puebla a World Heritage site in 1987, allowing for the 2,600 buildings\u00a0to be preserved and\u00a0protected.<\/p>\n

However, as Prose pointed out, there is more to Puebla than ornate, grandiose buildings. She ‘savored’ the food. Boasting a reputation as the \u00a8Lyon of Mexico,\u00a8 Puebla has an abundance\u00a0 of gastronomic delicacies. From its famous sweet liquor to mole poblano (salty-chocolate salsa)\u00a0to huaraches (sandal-shaped bread with seasoned meat), the food is supposed to be an unforgettable experience. Prose recommends that street-fare is a better experience than the fine dining. From my experience in Mexico City, she is right:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a8Generally speaking, the most reliable ways to find the best food are, first, to follow your nose, and second, to fall into place at the end of the longest line.\u00a8<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How true. I have heard Mexican cuisine rivaled with France and Italy. Just remember that whatever the food lacks in presentation, it makes up for in flavor.<\/p>\n

Puebla seems to be a place of perfection\u00a0full\u00a0of history, architecture, cultural festivals and, of course, unforgettable experiences with food. I know where I want to be for Cinco de Mayo<\/em>.<\/p>\n
