At Plaza Azteca, we are proud to offer our customers the best Mexican and Latin culinary experience in Bethesda, Maryland. Part of our commitment to fine dining is based on the choice of ingredients. Using fresh, local ingredients not only enhances the flavor of our dishes, but also provides multiple benefits for health and the environment.
- Superior Flavor
The freshness of the ingredients is a key factor that determines the flavor of the dishes. Ingredients that have been recently harvested usually have a more intense and vibrant flavor profile. At Plaza Azteca, our fajitas, enchiladas, and tacos are made with vegetables and herbs that are sourced from local producers. This means that every bite you enjoy is full of freshness and authentic flavor. By choosing seasonal products, we also ensure that our dishes reflect the best that nature has to offer at every time of the year.
- Optimal Nutrition
Fresh ingredients are not only tastier, but they are also more nutritious. Foods that are stored for long periods or have been transported from far away can lose essential nutrients. By using local and seasonal ingredients, we ensure that our dishes are full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This not only benefits your health, but also allows you to enjoy a richer and more satisfying culinary experience.
- Supporting the Local Economy
Buying fresh and local ingredients is not only good for our kitchen, but also for the community. By working with local farmers and producers, we are supporting the local economy and encouraging sustainable agricultural practices. This creates a positive cycle that benefits our community and helps preserve the environment.
- Lower Carbon Footprint
Using local ingredients also reduces the carbon footprint associated with food transportation. Products that travel long distances generate greenhouse gas emissions, while local foods require less transportation and therefore contribute to a healthier environment. At Plaza Azteca, we take pride in doing our part to care for the planet by choosing ingredients that come from our immediate surroundings.
- Connection with the Community
By using fresh, local ingredients, we create a stronger bond with our community. We like to know where our food comes from and share that story with our customers. Every dish we serve at Plaza Azteca is a reflection of our dedication to quality and commitment to sustainability.
