Fungus fun

Cuitlacoche, a unique black corn fungus, is so revered for its earthy flavour that it’s known as the Mexican truffle. Appearance-wise, the delicacy may be as appetizing as a lump of coal, but the black gold fetches top dollar in local markets.

Try it stuffed in a savoury crepe at Terra-Cotta restaurant in Mision de los Arcos, located in La Crucecita, Huatulco’s lively centre.

Keep it cool

Homemade icy paletas, made by freezing purified water with sugar and fruit, offer a quick and delicious way to cool off in the heat. Expect to find watermelon, guava and mango along with exotic creations like gooseberry or jicama with chili and gardenia petals.

Order yours at Paleteria Zamora on thezócalo, the town square that’s a hub for people-watching, chilling out to marimba music and chowing down on local street food.
