Of course Erika! Here goes. Mr Loredo came to Mexico City via Tampico. He opened a restaurant called The Tampico club where he had this famous combo plate: The meat cut so long (and zig zaggy) represents the Panuco river, the oval plate the Huasteca region where the Panuco lays, the enchiladas de fertile fields, the beans the fertile soil and the white cheese the purity of the people from that region. Pretty, no?

Hola Paty,
I love your show and your recipes are fantastic! I am from Mexico, Uruapan Mich but I live with my family in Chicago, I have to tell you that I have to re-arrange my schedule on Saturdays to stay home and watch your show.
If you have a minute could you please write the history of Carne a la Tampiquena, I never heard the story before and I think I missed the first part of the story, what is the meaning of each ingredient of the dish and also what part of Mexico is coming from?

Thank you! You are very talented!

Erika V.

Hi Sherry, Filet Mignon is a cut off the beef tenderloin. Tenderloin is the most tender cut of beef, so it is usually more pricey. You can always try substituting a roast or round steak. Thank you for taking a moment to write me!!

Hola Paty,
I think this is the recipe that I’ve been looking for!!! Can you tell me if Beef Tenderloin is the same as Filet Mignon? That is what a butcher told me but it turns out that is very expensive. I wonder if it goes by another name. I find pork tenderloin very easily but not beef.
Thanks for sharing!
Sherry

Hola Pati,
Today I made tampiqueña and I loved it, and my husband loved it, but instead of fried beans we had frijoles charros, it was great!
I dont know if you have the recipe for tacos al pastor, the other day I tried to make them, but the taste was different, good, but different, and I really miss tacos al pastor and i want to make them, i hope you can give the recipe for that.
Thank you for sharing your great techniques and ideas!
Mónica

I had the Tampiquena steak in a nice Mexican restaurant in Houson Tx a few years back and have been unsuccessful in duplicating it. I can’t wait to try your recipe and techniques. Thanks for sharing it!
