The gastronomy of Tlalauquitepec keeps among its roots the fusion cuisine, a mixture of pre-Hispanic practices and methods brought from other countries. This municipality is recognized as the cradle of the tlayoyo (Tlacoyo) in its different varieties, this particular dish is a mini oval corn dough tortilla filled with potato, beans or peas, the latter mixed with avocado leaves and green chili, all generally ground by hand to obtain a green paste, where you can also add cheese, onion and salsa. A typical dish that cannot be missed in the festivities of the different communities is the traditional "mole de guajolote" made with a variety of chili peppers and spices, its peculiar characteristic comes from the spiciness and flavor that is very different from the mole of the capital of Puebla. This municipality is distinguished by its traditional smoked meats, such as sausage, ribs and chickens originating in Mazatepec and marketed by the descendants of Italian immigrants who arrived in the first half of the 19th century.
