Cecina estilo Yecapixtla
Yecapixtla-style beef cecina, salt-cured for more than 24 hours and seared on the grill. Served with refried beans, pickled salad, fresh cheese, Mexican cream and warm tortillas to make your own tacos.
Dish story
Cecina is one of the most iconic foods from Yecapixtla, a town famous throughout Mexico for its cattle-raising tradition and artisanal cured meats. For generations, local producers have prepared thin cuts of beef that are carefully salted to enhance flavor and preserve the meat before grilling or searing.
Yecapixtla and cecina are inseparable. The town has become a culinary destination thanks to this specialty, attracting visitors from across the country who come to experience one of Mexico's most celebrated traditional foods.
Cutzamala version
At Cutzamala, we create our own interpretation inspired by this famous tradition. Beef fillets are cured in salt for more than 24 hours, then seared on the grill and served with refried beans, pickled salad, fresh cheese, and Mexican cream. Warm tortillas complete the dish, allowing you to build your own tacos just as they are enjoyed in central Mexico.
A rare specialty outside Mexico and an authentic taste of the culinary heritage of Morelos.
