For us Mexicans, a day without pepper is like a day without sun. «El CHILE» is our national pride. Each Mexican thus consumes from the age of 5 years and 10 kg per year.

Here we explain why we are addicted to chilli, and we share some tips so that you can also eat your tacos with CHILE without even batting an eyelid!

The first obvious reason: without chilli the kitchen has no flavor! It is the key ingredient of Mexican gastronomy because it gives all its flavor to Mexican dishes and warms the atmosphere. Besides, in Mexico it is said that a woman who does not cook with chilli does not know how to cook!

The second reason: It’s also a totally addictive experience! Thanks to the capsaicin (chemical compound) present in peppers, you will sweat or even cry… And that’s the whole point because your body will release a high dose of endorphins and increase your serotonin to give you an incredible feeling of well-being. Our secret: the spicier, the better!

With a little practice you too will become addicted to this experience and eat your chicken tacos for example with lots of CHILE… And in case you accidentally started the fire in your mouth, don’t panic, we give you our tips to put it out.

1. You remain calm and especially you do not drink water at the risk of worsening your case!
2. You drink a Horchata,this Mexican drink made from rice milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
3. Once this big heat blow has passed, you wipe the drops on your forehead, add more lemon and salt in your taco and you start the experience again!

At Acà, we like to share our taste for CHILE. Our different hot sauces are offered separately to adapt to the taste of each.

To train, there is a formula with 3 tacos + a drink (including the Horchata!).

And know that our servers are trained in mouth fires and can manage the situation discreetly!
