EN    Our kitchen uses ten different types of Mexican corn, to be enjoyed in quesadillas, tetelas, sopas, totopos, pasteles and tacos. This is not common yellow sweetcorn, but rather the maíz criollo, indigenous corn that formed the cornerstone of all the great Meso-American societies. We buy our corn directly from small-scale farmers in Southern Mexico, whose wives taught us how to make proper tortillas, making us part of a tradition going back thousands of years.
We only use ingredients produced with respect for people, animals and the environment, and which we process on site to make salsas, tortillas, longaniza, aguas frescas and more.
Please follow or contact us through info [at] cencalli.com / Facebook

Dear guest, Thank you for thinking about us!

Due to the confusion of changing rules & restrictions, failing government support and the resulting impotence to keep & properly pay good staff, we are closed until further notice.

We may open soon for a few days to serve some our beloved tacos. If you are interested (or just want to send us a message), send us an email at info@cencalli.com and we shall let you know in time.

Hasta pronto!
