At Mesa de Origen, our restaurant in Tepoztlán, we use only ingredients from Morelos. Many of them are the day’s produce in the village market. We rescued ancestral family recipes and used traditional cooking methods such as tlecuil and the wood oven, to fill our kitchen with those aromas and flavors that remind us of our childhood.

It is finding joy in simple things. We understand the life cycle of production, the relationship between the seasons, the land, the seed and the territory. The dishes, the architecture and the service make Mesa de Origen one of the best restaurant options in Cuernavaca and its surroundings.

Morelos is a state rich in culture and history. Gastronomy is a reflection of such wealth: mushrooms when in season, Cecina salted meat, and corn, which is grown in all areas of town, including the communal lands of Tepozteco neighborhoods, have its roots in the pre-Hispanic past.

Our restaurant in Tepoztlán, a magical town of Morelos, honors this wealth, from which dozens of delicious dishes are born, such as pepita mole, Coatetelco bream, mole from Tlayacapan, tamales with coral tree flower and the delicious itacates (corn empanadas) of Tepoz.

SPA & MYSTICISM

TEPOZTLÁN
A maiden saw a feather drop softly on the floor. Without thinking, she put it in her womb. It did not come from a bird, but from one of the Mexica deities, who magically created a child in her womb. Thus was born the lord of Tepozteco, a semi god who

protected his people from various invasions. Its gallant figure cut in the mountain receives inhabitants and travelers, in his honor the pyramid of the Tepozteco was constructed and is known like Ometochtli-Tepoztécatl, the one of the iron ax.

HISTORY
Tepoztlán has been populated since at least 1,500 years before Christ and later, by Xochimilca, Tolteca and Chichimeca cultures. The Spaniards built one of the most beautiful convents in the center of the country, ruled by Dominican friars and later Franciscans.
