I finally made it. Al pastor, fried fish, and cauliflower ceviche, with rice and beans. The al pastor made me almost cry. The beans are the best I've ever had. Worth the trip. #foodporn #Copenhagen #Mexico #tacos #hijadesanchez (at Hija de Sánchez)

In the heart of Copenhagen I: Hija de Sanchez

I really cannot express the complete and utter delight I felt every time I ate in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was only there for five days but was fortunate enough to try some of the world’s best cuisine. From street food to fine dining, the experience was totally mind-blowing. The creativity, profound respect for culinary heritage(s) and commitment to the freshest local seasonal produce possible were everywhere!

Where did I go first? I got off the plane, dropped my bags at the hotel and went straight to a Mexican taquería. Of course, makes perfect sense! I had read about Hija de Sanchez and the chef/owner, Rosio Sanchéz, beforehand and follow both (while drooling) on Instagram. I also learned Sanchéz grew up in Chicago - like my mom - so yo! R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

That last phrase is just one of many examples of why I’m not a professional food blogger (smiley emoji). That, and deadlines, and grammar, and someone to answer to, no experience in the food business or professional cooking, no industry contacts and I have to do one thing in life that’s not about the €money$ or the ratings or the number of followers or something other than my pure enjoyment of eating really good food with awesome friends and family! I suppose you could just stop reading now - haha!

Getting back to Hija de Sanchez ... I swear, the tacos on offer that day - pork carnitas, crispy fish skin and queso fresco - were the best I’ve ever tasted, even compared to those I’ve had in Mexico (I admit though, I need to try many more taquerías in Mexico)! The combination of flavours burst into delectable mini fireworks all over the palate. Then the textures - especially of the crispy fish skins - were spectacular. There is perfection in crispiness and those fish skins are proof!

After the tacos, I had to try the paletas (ice pops) on the other side of the taco stand. I’ve been dreaming of trying them for awhile because they look so beautiful and seem so tasty! Finally on site, the very kind and helpful staff described each one in detail and I chose the avocado variety - although I would have tried every one if I had room! I never knew that avocado could transform so deliciously and gorgeously into an ice pop but it can and it did and I ate it all!

On top of the tacos and the avocado paleta, I also spotted they had churros and - despite my tightening mid-section - ordered more! Really, when would I be getting back here?? I had no idea, so I had to eat right then! They were made on the spot, sprinkled with sugar, licorice and dried rasperries. The friend with me didn’t like the licorice so I got to eat the whole plate. Woh! All I can say is go there if you’re ever in Copenhagen and experience it for yourselves. I’ll be there with you in spirit!
