Majo Ordóñez, Saborista blogger
Apart from writing, what I enjoy best is eating and discovering great flavors. My professional training in Cultural and Gastronomic Tourism has made me aware that sharing the history of Mexican food, ingredients, techniques, and classic dishes, the way Sabores Mexico does, is the best way to get to know our culture.
Favorite Mexican dish and drink: mole, gorditas de chicharrón, tacos al pastor, horchata water, and the tuba.
Hobbies: dancing, reading, preparing desserts, and baking.

Rodrigo López, the original Saborista
Despite being a photographer, Rodrigo has a passion for food, which is why he created SMFT, a space to share his love for Mexican flavors and for Mexico City’s gastronomic offer. He considers himself as a tragón (glutton/gourmand) because there’s nothing he likes more than a dish with new flavors for his palate to try.
Favorite Mexican dish and drink: tortilla soup, chicharrón en salsa roja, tacos al pastor, cochinita pibil, zarandeado fish, tejate, mezcal, and tequila.
Hobbies: riding his bike, visiting museums, and listening to music.
