Description

Huaraches are also often paired with fried cactus leaves, or nopales. This dish is most popular in its hometown of Mexico City and is also sold in cities with large Mexican-American populations such as Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Chicago, San Francisco, San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Houston, but have yet to become widely available across the entire United States. Still, huaraches and other Mexican dishes have increased their presence in the Midwest due to increasing numbers of Latinos in rural America.

The name “Huarache” is derived from the shape of the masa, similar to the popular sandals of the same name. The word Huarache is originally from Purépecha and the Nahuatl word for huarache is kwarachi. Huaraches are similar to sopes and tlacoyos but differ in shape. The original huarache does not resemble a pambazo or a memela. Neither can it be classified as a tlacoyo. The main characteristic of the huarache is its elongated shape, which differentiates it from other Mexican snacks, which do not have holes in the upper part.
