Mexicans are experts in street food and our gastronomy has been recognized worldwide, so whatever you crave will surely be delicious, but there is a very special case: garnachas.

Garnacha is a category that includes different dishes: huaraches, sopes, memelas, and quesadillas. The ones that undoubtedly spark the most passion are quesadillas, as they are delicious, practical, and filling. We must also mention the famous machete, a giant quesadilla invented at Los machetes de la Guerrero, a place located in CDMX.

At kiwilimón, we love these quesadillas in the style of Los machetes de Amparito so much that we decided to create a homemade version, which is filled with picadillo, give it a try!
