"Vibrant market stalls in Puerto Escondido sell luxurious tamales de tichinda — mussel-filled tamales steamed in dried corn husks made by blending masa with a spicy adobo and adding mussels in their shells so they open as they cook. The soft, flaky tamal punctuated by briny, opened mussels is a quintessential afromexicano Costa Chica specialty and a seafood lover’s dream; sampling many of them is presented as an essential regional experience." - Bill Esparza
