Ojinaga, Mexico
El Mexico de Ayer
El Mexico de Ayer sits on Calle Sexta in Ojinaga, a border town in Chihuahua where the cooking tradition draws from the high desert larder of northern Mexico rather than the tourist-facing menus that dominate more visited cities. The kitchen works within a regional register that prioritizes local sourcing and old-school technique, making it a reference point for understanding what Chihuahuan home cooking actually tastes like away from the main circuits.
