Tesguino…my first shot.

by Copper Canyon Guy on 28/06/10 at 3:40 pm

We were traveling through and stayed in the tiny village of Cuiteco. It was on a Sunday last August and there was a Sunday celebration in Cuiteco.

I had been wanting to give it a try this home brew of the Tarahumara called tesguino…and finally, I had the chance. I took a look at the stuff, watched the little objects floating around, realized it looked like dishwater(or worse) and gulped it right down. aaaah!

My name is Richard “Loya” Molina from Ca. USA. My great grand fathers last name of (Loya) and grandmothers where I believe, the 1st settlers of Cuiteco. My understanding is that they were the ones that started the name and town of Cuiteco out side the Tarahumara natives. They owned over 2,000 acres in the area and where well-known at that time. I was hoping that you may have some pictures of Cuiteco that you may what to share with me or any other assistance to my great and grandfather’s history.
Cuiteco is a small town but it hits home if you know what I mean.

Thank you

Richard Molina
