50 delicious Mexican recipes
Whether it's crunchy nachos at Del Taco or a plate of enchiladas at your favorite local cantina, nothing hits the spot quite like Mexican food. It's one of the fastest-growing cuisines in the world—according to Fortune Business Insights, the global Mexican food market is expected to grow from $23.2 billion in 2026 to reach nearly $40 billion in 2034. Perhaps unsurprisingly, North America accounts for a major share of the worldwide market, making up roughly 38%.
That market might grow even faster than predicted if current U.S. food trends are any indicator. Arden Shore, editor-in-chief of restaurant review website The Infatuation, told ABC News in December 2025 that "Mexican food is having a 'sceney' moment nationally," leading a variety of eateries to draw inspiration from the nation's traditional culinary techniques in 2026. Considering Mexico's huge variety of cooking styles and dishes, there's no telling what kinds of Mexican eats we'll see on restaurant menus next.
Of course, you can sample many of these dishes right at home. From chile relleno to churros, Stacker compiled a list of Mexican recipes from Allrecipes. Keep reading to discover one you'd like to try for yourself.
