In Mexico, the arrival of October is a magical moment when culture and gastronomy merge to offer a unique experience. Mexican dishes in October are characterized by being full of traditional flavors and colors.
Thanks to the fact that it also marks the beginning of such emblematic celebrations as the Day of the Dead, the foods that take place during this time of the year are just as popular.
So that you can fully enjoy tasty Mexican dishes in October, we have prepared for you a list with 5 authentic and delicious plates that you will surely want to share with your loved ones. Are you up for trying them?
The first dish on the list is tamales, a traditional Mexican dish that is especially enjoyed during the October festivities. You can find sweet, savory or spicy tamales, so there is always one that suits your palate.
These are prepared with corn dough, an ancient food that is filled with meat, salsa, beans, or rajas, just to mention a few. However, what makes them stand out is their elaborate cooking process.
To make them, they are wrapped in corn or banana leaves and steamed, which gives them a tender texture and unique flavor. For this reason, many consider it the perfect dish to share with family or friends on a night of celebration.
Mole poblano is one of the most emblematic and representative Mexican dishes of Mexican gastronomy. Although it can be made with turkey and beef, mole with chicken is the most popular version during celebrations such as birthdays, Day of the Dead and more.
Here the protagonist of the dish is the sauce, which is prepared with different types of chilies (such as pasilla, mulato and ancho), as well as chocolate, almonds, spices and as a final touch it is accompanied by sesame seeds and rice. In other words, it is a complete dish that will satisfy any craving.
When talking about fall, we cannot leave out pumpkin, the star ingredient of this season. While it is present to decorate our homes, it is also used to enrich Mexican dishes in October, which is why pumpkin cream is a delicacy that cannot be missed.
This option is prepared with pumpkin, onion, salt and other vegetables such as carrots or potatoes, which are mixed until a thick texture is reached. A really easy and quick process, but with a delicious result that will make you want to repeat.
To complete your dish don’t forget to serve the pumpkin cream with some crunchy croutons, this way you will have a delicious appetizer for your holiday dinner. Believe us, the balance between the sweetness of the pumpkin and the warmth of the spices makes it an essential dish in your October menu.
If there is something that definitely cannot be missed during this season in Mexico is Pan de Muerto, a delicious tradition that comes with the festivity of Hanal Pixán, or better known as the Day of the Dead in the Mayan world.
This soft and spongy bread, decorated with “bones” of dough on top that symbolize the bones of the deceased, is a true masterpiece that hides several secrets. In addition, its aroma of orange blossom and powdered sugar is irresistible.
Best of all, during October you can find it in many local bakeries or venture to make it yourself, and lucky for you Pischán Restaurant, in company with Aldea Cobá, will be offering a workshop led by our expert chef to help you make it to perfection.

Finally, although this is not a “dish” as such, a Mexican treat you must try is hot chocolate, the perfect companion for many delicacies you will find during the season, such as the already mentioned Pan de Muerto (Bread of the Dead).
The Mexican version of hot chocolate is especially exquisite, as it is prepared with chocolate and cinnamon. Moreover, to enhance the experience, at Pischán Restaurant we serve a unique variant known as “Chocolate Maya”.
An in-house experience that perfectly combines high quality cocoa with carefully selected spices. Whether you choose to enjoy this rich and aromatic blend at our restaurant or venture out to prepare it at home, Chocolate Maya is an authentic treasure that will give you a taste of México in autumn.
