Editor’s note: Mexico’s food traditions offer more than a satisfying meal—they create a sense of belonging. In this edition, we explore six comforting dishes for autumn, from Sonora’s cheese soup to Jalisco’s birria, and discover five iconic Mexican cheeses and the regional traditions behind them. We also meet the Mexico City chefs whose “Pay What You Can” initiative inspired restaurants across 14 countries to rethink who gets a seat at the table. Together, these stories celebrate food’s power to warm us, connect us to a place and make hospitality more inclusive.
