Actually there is no such thing really as &#8220;Mexican food&#8221; explained Isamar Velez, the Mexican owner who has lived in Vilcabamba for 8 years. Mexico is a big place and each region has its own traditions and uses different ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Mole<\/strong>&#8221; for example (pronounce &#8220;moley&#8221;) is the Mexican curry, a paste made out of as many as 10 different varieties of chiles (chili peppers). There is green mole, yellow mole, red mole and depending on what grows in a particular region, the mole will be different. AgaveBlu serves the &#8220;dark mole&#8221; also called &#8220;chocolate mole&#8221; because it also contains a small quantity of <strong>dark chocolate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>A passion for food<\/h3>\n<p>Isamar Velez Garcia is passionate for food, loves cooking and has brought to our small Ecuadorian village the knowledge that she inherited from her parents and grand parents in Mexico city where she used to live.
