Tabernas: History and Origin
The dish known as Tabernas has deep roots in the popular cuisine of Mexico, especially in the northern region of the country. This name refers to the famous taverns or small establishments where inexpensive and quick meals were offered, often in the form of a sandwich or hamburger. In other Latin American countries, similar dishes may be called "torta de carne" in Mexico, "sánguche de carne" in Peru, or simply "homemade hamburger" in various regions. The recipe has become popular due to its simplicity and flavor, being a clear reflection of informal, everyday cooking.
The traditional preparation of this dish combines accessible ingredients and blends flavors that evoke the comfort of home. Although each place may adapt the recipe according to its preferences, the base of ground meat with condiments and sauces like ketchup and mustard is characteristic. Variations are present, but the essence remains the same: a quick, tasty, and easy-to-prepare meal.
