Our Story

Anais Martinez, otherwise known as The Curious Mexican, showcases her enthusiasm for Mexico via Devoured. From this platform she invites you to come along and explore Mexico through the eyes of a food writer, taco connoiseur and natural wine lover. Inspired by food, ingredients, techniques and cooking, this project is dedicated to showing you the real side of our gastronomy--from our favorite taqueros, to the young entrepreneurs in the food industry and the traditional producers from across Mexico. Join us as we explore what it means to be Mexican today!
