The molcajete is a stone mortar used across Mexico, and its name comes from Nahuatl. Grinding salsa in one releases oils and textures that a blender does not, which is why local cooks still prefer it for table salsas.
El Quelite itself is a small village of under 2,000 people with tile-roofed colonial-style houses. Its rural-tourism revival is credited locally to Dr. Marcos Gabriel Osuna Tirado, and it now has the Pueblo Señorial designation.
The workshop format means you spend most of your time cooking and eating rather than walking, a good fit for a slower afternoon.
