Cocina Latina: The Comida That Raised Us
Some families say "te quiero." A lot of ours said "¿ya comiste?" The comida that raised us is how we show up: the café de olla on the stove at 6 a.m., the pan dulce on Sunday, the pozole for every big day, the elotero we chased down the block. These are the pieces for the people who still eat like that.
1. Cafecito y pan dulce
The concha goes with the café, and nobody has to say it. The Pan Dulce tee, mug and tote, Cafecito Club and the Canela on Everything mug are for the one who runs on both. Read what conchas mean to a familia and the café de olla morning. Shop cafecito y pan dulce.
2. From the street
The elotero, the churros cart, the paletero who knows your order. The Elote & Esquite tee and I Love Tortas are for the one who never walks past. Read why elote tastes like summer and the pambazo. Shop the street food pieces.
3. Aguas frescas, horchata, paletas
Better than whatever everyone else was drinking, and we were right. The Horchata Girl in a Matcha World tee is for her. Read our horchata post and why the paletero is basically family. Shop horchata.
4. The big pot on Sunday
Pozole for the birthday, menudo for the morning after, carne asada for every Saturday. La Cocinera, El Chef Lotería and El Jefe Is Grilling are for the ones at the stove and the grill. Read what pozole means and carne asada, explained. Shop for the cook.
5. Every country's comfort food
Pupusas for the salvadoreño who will correct your pronunciation, empanadas for the house that always smelled like the kitchen. Read pupusas and empanadas. Shop the whole cocina.
