Pipian, which originated in pre-Hispanic times, is a sauce made with roasted and ground pumpkin seeds, and can be mixed with different chiles to make it green or red.
Also known as “mole de pipian”, it is used to marinate meats, chicken, but in Veracruz it is most famous for being used as a sauce in enchiladas or even tamales.
When you are in the region you can’t miss some pipian enchiladas, which are commonly served as a garnish to seafood dishes such as fish, shrimp, oysters or even fresh cocktails.
You can enjoy them during your stay with us at our Faja de Oro restaurant every day from 7 am to 11 pm.
