From Soil to Fire:
Where True Mexican Flavor Begins.
Sourced with Integrity, Crafted with Tradition
At TRADICIÓN, quality isn’t just about the final dish. It starts at the source. We work hand in hand with local farmers, heirloom growers, and trusted suppliers to bring you the freshest, most authentic ingredients available.
Our tortillas aren’t just handmade—they’re crafted from rare, native corn varieties that most kitchens won’t even bother with. Our spices aren’t store-bought—they’re handpicked, sun-dried, and ground the way they’ve been for generations.
This isn’t just tradition—this is why our flavors stand apart.
Rooted in Heritage, Harvested with Care
Behind every tortilla, every spice, every dish—there’s a story of tradition.
The farmers we partner with cultivate deep blue cacahuazintle, golden criollo, and rare native corn varieties, ensuring every tortilla is a tribute to Mexico’s culinary heritage.
Their work doesn’t stop at harvesting—it’s about patience, respect, and craftsmanship. Nixtamalized, sun-dried, and stone-ground, our masa carries generations of knowledge in every bite.
Paired with hand-selected, seasonal produce, these ingredients aren’t just fresh—they’re alive with history.
Tradition Preserved, Flavor Perfected
Tradition is upheld with patience—we simply refuse to cut corners.
Every ingredient is chosen for quality over convenience, arriving at its peak to preserve its full depth of flavor.
✦ Curtidos & Escabeche – Cured with patience for bold acidity and balanced heat.
✦ Salsas – Fire-roasted chiles and hand-ground spices, never bulk-blended.
✦ Masa – Nixtamalized and stone-ground, just as it should be.
Because true flavor isn’t made in a kitchen—it’s passed down, protected, and perfected over generations.
Premium Cuts, Timeless Techniques:
Where Meat Becomes Art.
Great flavors don’t start in the kitchen—they start at the source. That’s why we partner with local ranchers and master butchers who uphold the same commitment to quality, tradition, and sustainability.
Our meats aren’t just fresh—they’re ethically raised, hand-selected, and prepared with the same patience and precision that defines true Mexican cooking.
At TRADICIÓN, we don’t just cook—we honor.
Slow-braised cochinita, marinated for hours, infused with citrus and achiote.
Flame-kissed rib eye, seared to perfection over an open fire.
Every bite isn’t just food—it’s a testament to tradition, a tribute to craftsmanship, and a flavor that stays with you long after the plate is empty.
