GASTRONOMY

Manzanillo?s regional dishes capture the essence of Colima?s diverse cuisine, incorporating delicious fish and seafood recipes. Among the most notable dishes are: regional ceviche prepared with ground sailfish; tostadas with grouper or sierra fish and chile; tatemado and chilayo, dishes prepared with pork backbone; caldo michi, a stew made with white fish; and sopa de mariscos (seafood soup). To wash it down, you can try unique local beverages, such as tejuino, a drink made from fermented corn, ice and lime; bate, made from sage seeds and often accompanied with cane honey; and Comala and coconut punch. For dessert, we recommend that you try alfajor de coco y piña (regional pineapple and coconut cookies).
