Natalia’s Food Truck, San Miguel de Allende

Cocina con Corazón

There is no point to cooking, if you don’t cook from the heart.

Chef and owner Karl Tostado learned this lesson from his mother which he puts into practice in the food truck he owns with his wife Paulina Galindo in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato.

Chef Karl’s love for food was instilled by his mother and grandmother in Culiacán, Sinaloa, where he grew up. He loved watching his grandmother sing to the food as she prepared it and discovered her secret ingredient, the use of old-fashioned measurements, the most important being, “what fits in the palm of your hand, son.”
