Now that below-freezing temperatures have hit New England, there’s no denying winter is here. Even if you enjoy winter weather, it’s still nice to come in from the cold. When you do come inside, you need something to warm you up, and what’s better for that than Mexican food? Whether you’re digging into a burrito or a pile of nachos, Mexican food brings warmth back into your body after spending a cold day outside or just braving the weather between your car and our door.

 

Fend off the cold with Mexican food from Los Reyes! Here’s why Mexican flavors and traditional dishes are the best choice for a cold day.

 

Comfort Food Served Hot

When it’s cold outside, you want to eat something warm and comforting. Mexican food meets both those criteria. Most Mexican dishes are served hot, and the centuries of tradition that go into every recipe automatically make them comfort food, whether or not you have Mexican heritage. There’s more about Mexican cuisine that makes it especially suitable for a cold day, but it absolutely covers the basics.

 

Slow Cooked Meats

Slow-cooked meats are central to many Mexican dishes. Cooking meat slowly over several hours makes them tender, flavorful, rich, and comforting. Our signature birria is a perfect example of this kind of meat. Slow-stewed with a rich blend of spices, you can enjoy our birria in a burrito, tacos, or over some crispy fries. When it’s cold outside, digging into some of our birria will warm you right up!

 

Flavorful Spices

There’s a reason we refer to spicy foods as “hot.” Eating spicy foods creates a sensation of physical heat because they stimulate circulation. So, if you want to warm up quickly, go for something spicy! However, if you prefer more mild flavors, Mexican food has you covered there, too. Other savory herbs and spices, like cumin, garlic, and oregano, are warm and aromatic and contribute to a cozy feeling while you enjoy your meal.

The sauces used in Mexican food also contribute to a warm and cozy dining experience. A warm sauce on top of a dish helps keep the heat in, so your meal stays warmer for longer. You can take your time and savor your food without worrying about it going cold.
